Re: i gotta problem...

OK, describe pre shut down a little more. When the car is cold I assume, and idleing? Does it only do it once and then be ok? Is your idle rough before it shuts off? Will it shut off if you idle high (use the gas)? Have you recently had your batter drained/disconnected for a period of like 20 min or more? If you have, it should go away with some time, a couple days. It's just your computer reseting itself, and it needs a little time to get back to normal. If not, then IDK, maybe a PCV valve or something like that. If you dont get any answers here I would find a place that does free diagnostic checks and see if you have an electrical problem or something. Good luck, and post any more info that might help us out.

Re: i gotta problem...

hmm, let's see...it doesn't happen when im at a stand-still, only when i accelerate from a stop. i don't notice any rough idle. it happens about 2-3 times/week. that's about all i know. i'll try paying attention more, prior to the shut-off, it will be hard b/c it's totally random.

Re: i gotta problem...

my car has shut off on my out of the blue i think twice before.

i also have not a clue why, i think it might have something to do w/ the flywheel.

And i'm w/ rodbls on this one, take it somewhere that will diagnose it for free
