Can find no common denominator Examples: Died doing 70 down interstate Died doing 55 Died doing 45 Died doing 35 Died doing slowing down at red light Died doing speeding up at red light Died stopped at red light What my mechanic has done so far: replaced cam sensor crank sensor fuel filter alternator computer coil pack gas cap sometimes it will die twice in 1 day sometimes it will go 5 or 6 days without dying I started using high octane fuel and it seemed to die less often going 12 days once without dying then going 7 days without dying then finally till today going 6 days without dying At first when it died it would start up again right away. Later it would take a few minutes before it would start a couple of months ago it would not restart after over an hour. It did the same thing yesterday. Last time It started the next day and ran fine for a few days. Yesterday it finally restarted after a couple of hours. I drove it about 3 miles and it died again. Went back today. Restarted it. Drove a bout 5 miles and it died again. Finally got it restarted after about 30 minutes. drove another 5 miles and it died. Started up about 5 minutes later. Finally got home. What Next?

You have to determine what is missing the next time car stalls out. No fuel pressure, no spark or no injector pulse. If he’s not willing to do this then maybe you’ll have to leave the car with him; with the understanding that if he continues to throw parts at it he best be willing to remove them if whatever his last guess was didn’t fix it. Gremlins that cause these problems can be very taxing to find and the way this sounds you two are going to have too work together to find this. Dan.

I finally gave up. My mechanic (a mechanic for 40+ years, my mechanic for 7) said he was going to have to start charging me for all the time looking for the problem. (He spent several hours looking at it without charging me - I have been a good customer for years and brought him new customers.) I bought another car. My mechanic bought my Le Sabre for the engine and transmission. So I did not come out too bad.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
