Update, the dealership said the knock sensor was coding. Pd $ 419 to pick up the car today. Drove great for all of 160 miles. Then I decided I would go to Home Depot, came off a hwy @65 mph. to amost a complete stop. Died! This time all the lights went on.
It started up right away, thank heavens. I made it home.
I've called the dealership, they will supposedly pay for the tow, 35+ miles one way.
Now, the dealership is going to deal with the personality I thought I left in Florida and Ohio.
I told them to check everything you'all said. But CRAP, I live in TX and women just get the whatever.
The new guy I talked to at the N dealership, said thank you, for telling me all the stuff.
So thanks guys; who knew my verbose would come in handy.
Today, it umphed changing gears until it warmed up. It feels like it skips trying to go up hills or accelerating. Only the 1st changing of gears, it's never done that before.
If anyone can tell me how to explain the above to a mechanic I would be extremely grateful.
My Dad has had to get his crank case positioning sensor replaced twice on his 2002 Caddy and my car had died just like his does. Starts up, put in gear dies, Starts up and goes down the road at low and high speeds and then dies. Neither one just flat out dies. Give them both time, they start right up and do business for a few days. Or in my instance today, about 150 miles.
