Re: Car keeps Dieing
bump. the same thing happened to me, but it was at a stoplight and right as the light turned green, it died. i was probably idling for about 30 seconds. and then again when i was pulling in to my driveway, i didnt have enough time to put it in park before it died.

Re: Car keeps Dieing
Ok, I took off the upper intake to remove the EGR , I have been getting the EGR code sence i bought the car a year ago, but iv never had any problems, Last week i got the car a state inspection with emmission and it passed with flying colors..So i was running out of things to check, i thought o well,sence i had a code for this i will go head and fix it. there was a piece of carbon like a little rock, holding the egr from closing,letting to much exhust gas back in to the intake track. so i spent all day cleaning the egr,upper intake and the little egr hole in the intake, i put it all back together and no code has poped up and it seems to run like a champ!!
