Shuts off while driving but starts up

SOURCE: 1995 Chrysler Concorde

the alarm is activating when he locks it and for some reason the key or fob isnt deactivating it..check the disarm switches in the door

i need location of where this tcc solenoid is located on 97 chev. lumina so i can change part

SOURCE: Car stalling out and bot starting after being driven for awhile.

mcdevito75 Here, It"s possible the ignition Module is going bad, no way to test and if so, one day the car will not start at all.----------It can also be a vapor loc, wher the fuel is evaporating before it reaches the cylinders. Best Bet, have your local shop check both these items.

Hi ST.

Problems that occurr and disappear erratically are often caused by bad wiring.

In your case, if problem is stalling when idling and during startup, parts that are likely involved are those determining the balance of fuel/air mixture.

This kind of symptoms are commonly caused by weak wiring to MAP/MAF sensor (MAP on the 97 engine). This often results in error code stored.
If problem is only at cold, check IAT (idle air temp) sensor, also located in the air intake, check the idle air control valve.

Check crank sensor wiring harness. This is also common cause for the problem.

Check wiring to injectors and high voltage wires from distribution to spark plug. If any of these is the problem, then you will get a misfire code stored in ECM (main computer module).

If the car also drives very rough and is revving up and down in a weird way, check the EGR valve.

The fuel pump wiring may also be responsible. In that case you will get a lean mixture code if you do an error scan.

The two connectors to ECU must be tested, just in case. If instrument panel comes on and if there is no additional problem, this are hardly related to the problem.

If wiring is OK, check the vacuum system and try cranking with gas tank cap off. Vacuum system is tested using an hand tool gauge onvacuum lines while spraying card cleaner on the hoses (or heating them with a torch). If there is a leak, pressure will go up. A big leak will also do hissing noise, and will often result in a lean code when doing an OBD code scanning.

As first thing I would do a code scanning. This car is OBDII. The scan can be done for free at the nearest Autozone, or for a small fee at any garage.

If you get any OBDII code from the scan, report it here, so that we can isolate further the possible reason for the problem.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 VW Passat the engine light came on had it diagnosed the code is P0322 what does it mean and how is it fixed? Thanks

Symptoms- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Lack/Loss of Power
- The engine may be harder to start
- The engine may stumble or stallPossible causes- Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor harness circuit is open or shorted
- Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor poor electrical connection
- Faulty Ignition/Distributor engine speed sensor
- Faulty Crankshaft Position sensor
- Low battery charge
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)When is the code detected?The P0322 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects no signal.P0322 VOLKSWAGEN DescriptionIgnition failure sensor is used to check whether the spark ignition is occurred correctly or not and also used to tachometer drive. The sensor monitors the voltage difference between a resistance which is on the battery circuit for ignition coil. When the ignition coil works properly, the electric current through the resistance is detected as voltage drop. This is confirmed for every ignition event with the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensor. If ECM detects a malfunction, no ignition is possible, so the engine would not start. If there is no ignition signal for a predetermined cycle for one or two ignition coils, an ignition coil circuit failure exists.
