| Not starting (engine tries to start but just won't catch) and stalling while idling. #1 of 6: took car from home, drove about 15 miles, turned it off for over an hour, drove about 1/10 mile, turned it off for over an hour, wouldn't start. left it sit for 30 minutes. started up just fine. #2 of 6: took car from home, drove about 5 miles, turned it off for 2 hours, drove about 1/2 mile, turned it off for about 15 minutes, wouldn't start. left it sit for 10 minutes. started up fine, although i followed procedure for flooded engine. stopped about 2 blocks again to get gas. started up fine again. #3 of 6: took car from home, did a lot of start/stop driving that morning. later that afternoon drove about 10 miles, turned if off for over an hour, started up fine, drove about 1/2 mile, had to stop at stop light. while idling, stalled out. wouldn't start for about 10 minutes. at this point i took it to the dealer. the dealer replaced the prom and idle air control valve. #4 of 6: 2 days after dealer replaced the above, it stalled after filling the gas tank and driving just a short distance. however, unlike all other times it started up within a minute. (it was rainy that evening.) took back to dealer. he sealed the connections - thought maybe they got wet. #5 of 6: about 5 weeks later we went on a long trip and all was well until we went to a store and back and then about 30 minutes later it would not start. #6 of 6: drove home from work (14 miles), stopped for gas about 1 mile from home, filled tank, drove home, left car sit for 45 minutes, drove about 3 miles, left car sit for 1 and 1/4 hours, wouldn't start. had rained earlier in the day, but the roads were fairly dry. this happened tonight. tomorrow i will phone the dealer. does this happen to other regal owners and what has been done to correct it? i am almost scared to drive anymore. depending where it stalls, this could cause an accident. might i add that i haven't had any major pro | |||
