Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. AT FIRST IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOVEMENT. I TRIED TO CRANK THE CAR TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND IT WOULDN'T CRANK AT ALL. THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE IDENTIFIED ON A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT WASN'T THE SPARK PLUGS. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THE AUTO SHOP WAS NOT EVEN SURE THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM. THIS COMPUTER COST $650 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLASHES AND THE CAR JERKS. HOWEVER WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE AUTO SHOP THEY SAY THAT I HAVE GOTTEN BAD GAS. THEY CAN'T FIND ANOTHER PROBLEM. I'VE CHANGED WHERE I GET MY GAS AND IT STILL HAPPENS DAILY. OUT OF 3 HOURS OF DRIVING IT MAY RUN NORMALLY ABOUT 1- 1.5 HOUR. *NM
