    Vehicle idle for about 10 seconds then it shuts down. I have replaced the fuel pump, inline resistor and the idle control valve and it still shuts down after a few seconds. Can anyone advise?

    Does it start back up after it shuts down? Do you have any codes?

    No codes, it starts with no problems it only stays on for about 10 seconds. However, it will at times run for a day or two with no problems and then it starts acting up again. Oh hey thanking for trying to help.

    Ok, I bend the tab and the car works. However, I have already replaced the inline resistor once. You think I need to get another one or is there a wiring problem.
