I recently (1/3/14)purchased a 2004 9-5t Linear Wagon from Luxury Car Vision, Inc., in Paterson, NJ with 49,500 miles. Purchased "As Is", of course, but appeared to be in very nice shape. About 6 weeks after purchase, I initially had repeated problems re-starting the car after stopping to run an errand. A few days ago, after driving approximately 150 miles round-trip and nearing home, the car stopped running while on a busy highway. Had to have the car towed in to Scandinavian Import Service Center in Rockville, MD. After cooling down for approximately 1 hour (waiting for tow and towing time), after rolling off the flatbed, the car started up and continued to run. While waiting for the tow, while the car was still at operating temperature, the engine would fire for a second or two and then stop. So engine temp may be a possible clue.
I had already had the crankshaft position sensor and fuel pump/sensor replaced. I found out today that a former owner had replaced the ECM (Engine Control Module) at 47,680 miles, and the crankshaft position sensor and anti-lock brake sensor at 49,166 miles. Seems like the most recent (only?) owner had the same problem and sold the car while it was still running. Anyone experienced this problem, and if so, were you able to identify the problem and fix it? So far, the only code the on-board computer has provided had to do with the anti-theft system. We currently have the "Twice Module" on order to be replaced tomorrow. Advise/insight would be greatly appreciated.
