My 02 TB runs great drives great and have no problems, butonce in awhile it wil just die. it'll run fine you go to stop and once stopped it'll just die. hot, cold, a/c on, a/c off, it dont matter it just dies. there is no one thing that i can figure out that'll cause it. i cant duplicate what i just did to make it die cuz it wont die. its just outta the the blue, dies, I can start it right back up no problem. any ideas. for about a year now its been doin this. happens about once a month. Anything i can look for so i can correct it?

I'd look into a PCM reflash for a low idle, stalling concern. Check this post: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=627297

I sort of have a similar problem except for it doesn't die all the way. Sometimes I will be sitting at a stop, start accelerating and as soon as I come off the brake and hit the gas it will hesitate for a split second like it's going to die and then it will go like normal. It runs fine all of the time, never dies, just a little quirk about it.

Same thing there are some reflashes for this problem too, but it should be scanned to look at all the sensor activity.

Well I actually had it in the shop today. The SES light had been on so I took it in. Come to find out I had a bad oxygen sensor. Got that replaced and haven't noticed the hesitation yet. Maybe that was the culprit. Although, it didn't happen ALL the time, just occassionally. I'll give it a few days and see if that was the problem.

would my SES light be on if it needs a reflash, cuz its not on.

Reflash is usually for updateding issues not to correct a cel, normally.

how much does a dealer charge to flash it?

1 hour labor here so about 75.00.
