Consumer Description

WHILE SITTING IN MY CAR WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION LISTENING TO THE RADIO IT WOULD START UP. IT WOULD START UP IN PARK AND IT WOULD START UP AND NEUTRAL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STARTER ARMATURE IS ENGAGING AND WON'T STOP AND GAUGING IN NEUTRAL AND STOP I DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO START ALL ON ITS OWN WHY DOES START ON ITS OWN IT VERY EASILY CAN YOU BE BUMPED INTO DRIVE AND TAKE OFF DOWN THE ROAD IF I LEAVE IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK NOW IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S ALREADY RUNNING SO THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET THE OFF AND GOING NOW IS TO START THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BYE JUST SITTING THERE SOON AS YOU START SIDE DROP IT INTO DRIVE AND I HIT THE ROAD NEVER SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE IN GEAR BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS NOW IN PARK AND NEUTRAL. ON TOP OF THAT IT HAS A CODE FOR A BANK SENSOR IN THE SECOND BANK B BANK OR WHATEVER AND IT IS RETARDED AND ADVANCED IN TIMING. THE TIMING SEEMS TO BE ERRATIC AND ALL THE SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GET IT SMOGGED THIS YEAR BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T GO OFF DUE TO THE TIMING I'M GUESSING. WHILE IN DRIVE IT SEEMS TO WANT TO JUMP IF I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IT'S OKAY AND DOESN'T JUMP UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEN THE STARTER KICKS ON.
