Hi Brian, I'm glad to help! First, when the engine shuts down you need to know if its loosing FUEL or if its NOT FIRING. This will send you in the right direction of diagnosing the problem, BECAUSE: It could be anything from a Shut-Down-Relay, a Bad Fuel Pump, a Engine Control Module, a Crank or Cam Sensor to various other things. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Brian.

Have you checked the oil level, could just need more oil.

Ignition Switch-not the key cylinder Starter Solenoid Starter Starter Relay Have to do some testing, as always, just to find any problem

This sounds like you have a sticky EGR valve. When it\'s idling rough, try tapping on it with an object such as the butt-end of a screwdriver and see if it suddenly smooths out. If so, you\'ve found your problem and you should consider changing the valve assembly. I hope this helps! :)

I would start by replacing the oil pressure sensor. If you have a gauge to connect to the engine to verify actual oil pressure would be best.

the oil pressure has gone bad but to be on the safe side suggest testing with a mechanical gauge unit

Why do you want to change it?

if you are asking about the pcm (power control module) it has to be reprogramed so you are kind of stuck takeing it to the dealer

could be a bad coil, bad fuel filter, bad plugs and wires, not enough info to diagnose

A code P0601 in most cases means the PCM has gone bad. This is possibly due to a short-circuit inside the PCM. Or, if you disconnect the wires/connector from the PCM while the battery is still connected, that may also cause this code. the most common fix is to replace and reprogram the PCM. In a few cases the dealer may be able to reflash the PCM and get it working. But more than likely the PCM will need to be replaced and reprogrammed dealership for this). The good news is it *may* be covered under your emmissions warranty. good-day!

I think that you have been getting the "bums rush" from the transmission rebuilder.. There is always oil in the gears as there is oil continuously being splashed around so burning gears is out unless you have a band /clutch slipping problem. Always run the fault codes to see if there are electronic problems and have a pressure test done to check for internal mechanical problems I advise that you find an accredited auto transmission shop that repairs your transmission and get a second opinion before you spend another dollar.

i assume you have checked all lighting fuses. if you have not, start there. do you have brake lights? if you do have brake and head lights then i would suspect the dimmer/light switch.
