WOULD RUN FINE FOR DAYS, SOMETIMES FOR A WEEK, THEN IT WON'T START. ALSO AS THE WEEKS WENT BY WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR JUST QUITS RUNNING, COULDN'T GET IT STARTED, AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT STARTS (THANKFULLY). ALSO HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK, CAR JUST STOPS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE, PRESS ON GAS PEDAL...NOTHING. UNTIL TODAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTS TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FEW WEEKS AGO, STATED IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ($120.00), THEREFORE WE REPLACED BOTH SENSORS. NO CHANGE! OH WE ALSO REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTOR SENSOR IN THE BACK. HUSBAND READ SOMEONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM...
