Hello,
I have a 2001 Ford Taurus with ONLY 85,000 miles. My car has been dying randomly on me after i drive longer distances.
I will drive the car and it will work just fine without any hint of a problem. Then i will shut it off and then try to start it again after a few minutes but the car wont stay running.
It will turn over and turn on but it shakes and sputters then quickly dies. I try to turn the key again and then the car eventually doesn't even turn over!
I took it in to the Ford dealership and they told me it was the idle air control valve and paid $350 but it didn't fix the problem and i'm out alot of money!
Being a college student this is not fun and i need a reliable car living in the twin cities of MN. PLEASE PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do next!!!
Thank you!
