| Description of the problem | The car stalled at an intersection and restarted and stalled continually. Had it towed to a repair shop. The computer showed a lot of funny readings like it was going 122 mph while at a stand still. He determined that water had leaked in the pcm. Dried it out and sealed it and made repair according to tsb. This is the third time that it has happened. The issue is drivable and potential for accidents and my wife being stranded in undesirable neighborhoods. |
