Hello all,
This is very unusual I think, but I don't know for sure. On Thursday as I was pulling up to a light and my car stalls and dies. Now from Monday through Thursday morning the temperature was 32 degrees or lower. From Monday to Wednesday afternoon I drove with less than a quarter a tank of gas. I filled up with regular gas on Wednesday afternoon and then dumped in a bottle of techron concentrate at night. When the car stalled on Thursday, the temperature had risen to 60 degrees. Here is what happened. Pulling up to light, car dies, and will not start. No clicking or sounds of turning over. Five minutes later, it starts and I get through the light. Rpms drop to 0 and a few seconds later, I loose power steering, brake pressure, and such. Drove car about 10 miles and it did it again. Now, check engine light is on. Had it scanned. Three codes, 2 false ones and 1 Throttle Position Sensor code. After it was scanned, the car stalled 3 times. After it stalled, the car will start, stay alive for a second or two and then stall. If it sits for a bit, then the car will start and drive fine. Thursday night, I cleaned out the IAC and throttle body. Car stalled a lot just in the driveway. Parked it and left it. On Christmas Eve, I got very lucky, I was able to find a TP sensor, unfortunately it was used, but only 20 dollars. So I installed it, CE light stayed on, but I drove 10 trouble free miles. Later on it stalled again after about 6 miles of driving. I am very confused and I need to get this car fixed so that I can goto Canada on Monday. People that I have talked too, think that there may be water in the lines from condensation earlier in the week. The ignition switch was replaced at 88k miles and the fuel filter was done at 93k miles. Both those services occured a year ago. Please help! Thanks!
