Description of the problem | I was traveling about 60 mph on a highway when the panel lights came on and the car quit. I traveled about 10ft when the car came to a halt and would not go any more. After about 15 minutes, i tried turned the key and the car started. I traveled about 15 miles with the car almost stalling 2 to 3 times along the way. It started fine for the next 4 days and almost stalled another 5 times. During this time the engine light would flicker. After 5 days the car wouldn't start, at all. It had to be towed and fixed. This is related to the modulator and crank sensor. In regards to the serpentine tensioners and belt, the first belt was replaced after it was squeking. While driving, at about 40 mph, i forget which light came on, but i had to pull into a midas station and they diagnosed that the tensioners had to be replaced. This previous belt was also squeeking before the tensioner was replaced.*ak |
