the engine would shut off whenever in neutral (moving or idling) after at least 20 minutes of continuous driving. the throttle body was cleaned, which seemed to fix the problem. really annoying.
this has been on-going. it wouldn't idle for more than 5 minutes. the ignition coil was replaced, and when that didn't work, the crank shaft was replaced. now it barely idles, and when it does, it's rough.
Well, it just keeps getting worse. Now its costing me because the parts that are breaking aren't covered under my powertrain warranty. Spent $450.00 to clean my throttle body, and a new IAC motor, whatever THAT is. Also, I should point out, I have paid $95.00 twice to Northglenn Dodge, for diagnostic tests. These were paid for in a span of about two and a half months. On the first test, it said my downstream O2 sensor was bad. On the second test, it came up with all sorts of other things wrong, to include the cateletic converter needing replaced but, no mention of the downstream O2 sensor. did it suddenly fix itself?!
