Topic #40728 3 posts Started by eggman40
Stated my car up this morning, then after the car was on for about 3 minutes it bogged out and turned off. I could not get it on again after that. Then in the afternoon I checked intake, intercooler pipes. retightned everything then it fired up again and did the same thing. turned on for 3 min and turned itself off. rpms drop then car struggles to stay on till it dies. Any ideas? thank you much for the help! smile.gif
check the ecu for codes.

next time it does it, give it some gas and try to keep ot running. it it stays running its probably the aic .
