I need some help you guys, my car has started suddenly shutting off at various times...whether its in park, idling, or driving any speed...there are no warning signs of it shutting off, it just dies...all electric stays on the motor just stops running.
I have noticed that when it dies while running sometimes itl kickstart itself back up...if Im parked or idling and I try to start it it will just crank all day long but never start...I have to put the key in the "OFF" position, then it'll fire with no issue at all...sometimes it will run an hour without a problem, and sometimes it will happen 2-3 times within a 3 minute period.
Built in diagnostic returns a 1255 --- nothing wrong...
Ive replaced the fuel filter, plugs, cap, rotor, wires...plugs werent fouled and the car idles fine and drives fine, however it does feel like the car doesnt get hardly any power at all, you really have to hit the gas to get it moving...no spitting, sputtering or anything else.
Has a 2.2L non-turbo automatic, no performance parts, bone stock.
Any thoughts? Thanks for any help...its a daily driver so I need to get it fixed ASAP and I dont know where to look anymore without spending a lot of cash for a part that might not fix it.
