Re: Car died while driving on highway and sputters after a couple hot starts

Sorry guys. Every time I remember to check back on this thread is usually while I'm driving and then by the time I am home or at work I completely forget.

Latest example: Car was sat from Thursday afternoon to Monday morning and right after I started it the whole car was shaking and sounding really rough, until the RPM eventually dropped to a normal idle (which took much longer than usual... hovered at 1k for a good few minutes)

I don't remember the code exactly. I'll have to see if it's in the paperwork. But yep the first time in December was the first and only time a code was thrown. And that only happened after the car lost power, I pulled over, shut the car off, and restarted it once or twice to see if that did anything. It was after the restart the finally the CE light came on.

Do I get a prize if I say it is the throttle body/TPS and get it right?

That was another option I was going to look into.

TPS and the CCRM. I'll add those to my list of things to check out when I have time. I suppose my first task is to retrieve that CE code.
