Hi All. The sarga continues...
Symptoms: the D stalls while driving (speed up or taking foot off gas) or sits idle at a red light. All gauges (battery, cooling system, fuel) are at zero when the D won't restart. Odometer first shows flashing mileage, then changes to flashing "no bus".
Thanks for all the reponses from mule256, DMAN, coliseum, B1G BLEU, Neil, j4ne, & rockadaous (sorry if I left anyone out). It's still not fixed. The dealer is still insisting that they need to be able to get the car to die in their shop in order for them to do anything to it. They are leaning toward PCM or other computer hardware/component controlling input/output. As I said in my previous post #11, I went and picked up the D on Saturday 7/9/05 (that was the second time it was in their shop but they couldn't recreate the problem).
On Sunday 7/10/05, I drove it and it died on me three times. So I took a day off from work, on Monday 7/11/05, just to drive it around their shop, hoping I could get it to stall near there so they could see the problem. I finally got it to stall about a quarter miles from them, and I called them to report the problem, but they wouldn't come to look at it there. However, they did dispatch a tow truck over but it would take about 2 hrs before it could get to where I was. After about 30-45 minutes wait, then my D started up again. I drove to the dealer but decided not to leave it there. I did take it back to the dealer this morning (Wednesday 7/13/05) and left it there for them to try to recreate the problem.
I just received a call from them this afternoon saying that they finally were able to get it to stall while they had it out for a test drive, unfortunately they couldn't get diagnostic tools out there in time as they were able to start it up again. They are going to try to get it to stall again tomorrow. I'll post an update again as soon as I hear back from them. Thanks.
