Re: Engine stalls with in the first 30 minutes of start.
was just about to make a post on this, i have almost identical problems as the OP and nearly the same situation lol.
i replaced my crank shaft censor in november, bought one from advanced auto, didnt catch the brand, had my brother in law install it for me, and now just this week, its stalling on me after the first few minutes of starting the car up. but after the engine gets warmed, its fine.
guess ill be replacing it one more time, but not going to order it online and get a bosh, i plan on trading in my car here really soon, i need a quick fix for now and i dont care what problems the new owner gets.
i love this car, but its just too much trouble for my simple life, need something more dependable, as i am using this as my daily car (my only car lol)
my previous car, a honda accord, i had for 7 years, i never had any mechanical problems with it, change the oil and it was good to go.
now i did have the usual wear and tear on it, brakes, cv joings, headlights, taillights, etc.....but the engine and all its components were as dependable as anyone could have asked.
sorry for the rant, im just frustraded at the moment. you know, if i could fit my golf clubs in the hatch, i may consider keeping the car, but that is the straw that fell off the hat for me.
