When the weather is hot the engine will turn over and then almost immediately stall. I have to start it a few times and let it sit before it will stay running. Pressing the gas doesn't help. It used to only do it in the summer, but now in the winter it has been happening and has been more frequent. Another interesting thing is that when I use my remote start, it's fine. Just when I use the key does it happen.To date I have taken it in 4 times but no one knows what it is. New battery, maintained...who knows what's wrong? :(
