Consumer Description

CAR IDLED LOW AND HARD SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND DEALERSHIPS KEPT SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT WAS SO RANDOM, THEY COULD NEVER GET IT TO ACT THAT WAY FOR THEM. I WENT ON VACATION RECENTLY, CAME HOME AND WENT TO TURN ON CAR, IT STARTED, I STARTED TO DRIVE AND IT STALLED. LIGHTS STAYED ON, BUT COULD NOT RESTART ENGINE. TOWED IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS THE COMPUTER CONTROL SOMETHING OR OTHER AND THAT ONE OF THE SIGNALS TO AN INJECTOR IS NOT MAKING IT. THEY SAID ALL THE HARD IDLING I EXPERIENCED WAS A SIGN THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELECTRICALLY WRONG AND THE DEALERSHIPS WERE TELLING ME IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL! THEY ARE REPLACING A WIRE FOR AN INJECTOR AND THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE? RIGHT NOW. I AM NOT SURE OF THE CORRECT NAME FOR THE COMPUTER BRAIN THINGY. *TR
