It will work fine for several days or a week. Being turned off and on multiple times a day. Short 2-block trips, and 1-hour errand runs around town. No sputter or misfire or anything while its running. I turn it off, go into a store, come out, and out of the blue it tries to start, sputters a few times, dies, then won't start again. But it cranks over like gangbusters. Let it sit for an hour, try again, no help. I had it towed to a repair shop and it started fine for them the next day. Not security-related, just had ignition module replaced recently. Any ideas? Repair shop said they think its the intake manifold gaskets leaking coolant into the cylinders, fouling the plugs. They want $1300 to fix it up.
