Ok so my car has now been down for a couple months...lemme go over the problem it was having first
My car when i would start to get going(just every day driving) would randomly just start to buck...the RPM's would drop...no accel would happen then within a second suddenly it spurred back to life...would do it again in a couple seconds and then spur back to life
the thing is when i pushed the gas it was just like nothing was happening...it was totally dead...THEN after about a couple times of this it would finally stall out...oh and every time i bucked the check engine light would come on
Now when the car stalled out...it wouldnt turn back on...it would take a couple minutes like it needed to cool down then it would start back up fine...continue to buck every couple minutes/whatever then stall again
Now heres the rest of the problem...i took it in to get looked at...the guy who did it is one of the best mechanics in town...i asked him to check the fuel and the spark...he tells me that fuel PSI and spark are more then fine...i get the car back and its still doing the problem...now finally i get some advice to check the ecu...well turns out my ECU was totally fried...so i sent it to a rebuild place in florida and got back a brand new rebuilt one
I pop the Ecu in and BOOM! my car is working amazing for about a week...then within that week it starts up with the problem again...i sent it back to florida and it came back today that the ECU is perfectly fine no problems what so ever...so my question is...WTF IS GOING ON?!
someone PLEASE help!
