I have replaced the timing belt, CPS, spark plugs and wires, mass airflow sensor, fuel pump and 1 filter within the last month. The car was doing fine until today when i first started driving it would idle really low and die. It did this 2-3 times and stoped. It didnt do it again. I had it looked at again today and he said he didnt know what it was. He didnt see anything wrong with hit and no codes came up. What could be wrong with it?
Oh i forgot to mention. The spark plugs were just put on yesterday. Could something be wrong with them or the wires?
i replaced the crankshaft position sensor when i got the timing belt done. Could it be a bad CKP? Also, my husband has been driving the car for the last 4 hours for work and he said he hasnt had a problem with it. Could it just happen that 1 time and not do it again? The check engine light is not on but it did come on when the CKP was bad. I need this car to last another 4-5 months and then i'm getting a new one. Any ideas?
