| Description of the problem | Intermittent stalling issue. Vehicle has 98,700 miles on it and has not had any other issues prior to this. On the first occasion the vehicle was in motion, going between 5 and 10 mph, turning into a parking lot. The vehicle start to slow down, lost power steering and all dashboard lights were illuminated (check engine, battery, airbag, seatbelt, etc.) but the radio and headlights remained on. Placed the vehicle in park and turned the key in the off position. Restarted the vehicle and it started up immediately with no dashboard warning lights. Was drivable with no other issues for several days. The vehicle stalled a second time about a week or so later, while it was stationary, at a stop light on a city street. Again, all the dashboard lights illuminated while the radio and headlights remained on. Turned the key to the off position and attempted to restart the vehicle. The vehicle started with no problems and no dashboard warning lights. The vehicle was operational and was able to drive home with no issues. I took it to a trusted mechanic after both intermittent stalls. He ran diagnosis tests after both incidents and no codes showed up. The mechanic believes it is the ecm relay that is causing the issue after doing some research. A new battery was installed between stalls thinking this was the culprit. The second stall occurred the day after the new battery install. |
