Description of the problem | Beginning spring of 98 vehicle began to stumble-ever so slightly. By late spring it was cutting out. This was at about 50k. I had it tuned up. The problem continuted until it began to actually stall, especially at high rates of speed. It would always restart-in park-right away. This progressed to stalling at any speed and taking longer and longer to restart. On one particular trip this spring, we ran down the battery trying to get it started and were sold a "dealer" battery, to fix the problem. Two blocks from the shop it stalled again. It has been in one shop for a week, and another on 3 separate occassions. The last visit was for battery cable clamps and a fuel filter. Well the next day i drove my usual 371/2 miles to work, 12 hours later i went out started it and drove about 6 miles, parked. Half hour later, it would not start. After 1 3/4 hours later it started, 5 mi later stopped for a light and it stalled, in the middle of the stree for 1/2 hour. It started and i had no problems the remainder of the miles home at 70mph. There is so set speed with these stalls or warnings. Recently it restarted itself, as i was coasting to a safe shoulder area. Now it's parked again, i'm very afraid to drive it anymore. Please help me find the problem. Thanks pat m. *ak |
