| The first incident happened while driving the car it just stopped after i made a turn and read disabled due to electronic throttle body. after a few moments it just restarted. the lights and everything still work the car will just not crank back up until after a few moments. this has happened approximately 7 times. i take the key out and wait for about 3 to 4 minutes and then the car will start back up like nothing has happened. i have taken it to a few mechanics, and they were not able to pull any codes, and basically told me to take it to the dealer. now that i have taken it to the dealer, they have had the car since monday today is friday and they are unable to determine what the problem is because the codes don't pull up and the car hasn't done it since they have had it. | |||
