so i bought a new CAS last october, and the car seemed to run fine till i parked it. this year when i started it back up, i was getting random stalling when driving the car. i wasn't getting any codes, but i was sure my O2 was on it's way out. as a preventative measure, i also bought a new engine temp sensor.
so i'm thinking everything's hunky-dory and take the car for a drive today. i manage to park it, go to the grocery store, and when i come back, it won't start. it'll crank over, but no RPM's are showing (it's supposed to show 300). it's bucking and wants to start, but there's still no RPM.
so i loosen the CAS a bit, give it a little wiggle, and try to start it. the car starts! it runs, and i take it back home. now, it was extremely hot when i was touching it. i'm thinking the bearings in it are worn, or something's causing it to heat up like that. i also could have over tightened the bolts.
either way, i'd like to get another used CAS.
if Dee or anyone else has an extra or some insight if that's not my problem, please email me at mikesim013 @ hotmail.com
thanks.
