Example - last night, at 11:30pm, I was stuck on the side of the freeway in downtown Detroit ( what a great place...). It took me almost a half hour to get the car started. I've had diagnostics done on the car at Auto Zone/Advanced Auto Parts/ you name it, and they keep giving me the same codes - possible bad EGR valve ( which I have replaced), ECT sensor is bad ( which also was replaced), throttle body sensor is off by 10% ( or something like that), and ......I can't remember the last code they gave me. When I remember it, I'll post. Anyway, after changing 2 of the things, the car STILL stalls out at random. Could the TBS be the cause of this?
Also, why is it that (again, at random) the ABS light, Check Tire Pressure light, and Trac Off light come on? They either come on altogether or not at all. When they do come on, they stay on, and my steering tightens up. What's the deal?
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
