| Automobile dies without reason. it dies while running down the road or sitting at a stop light. internet message boards indicate a large number with the same problem. it also suggests it is the computer. when sensors are replaced the problem continues after a couple of weeks. i have found that if i disconect the positive cable on the battery it will run fine for about the same amount of time. you never know when it will die again, and it does. it is a serious safety problem if it dies on the freeway or in an intersection. on a 30 mile round trip to work and back it will die from 0 to 3 times.*ak | |||
