    I'm sorry to hear of your engine trouble; however, without further details it is difficult to determine the cause. How long has this been happening? Does it only happen in certain weather (e.g. cold temperatures)? Have you taken the vehicle to your local dealer for a diagnosis? Please message me so I can further assist you.

    Not staying running can be a few things.

    This might point to IAC (idle air control) being dirty etc. Could point to the MAF (mas air flow) being a problem not telling the pcm how much air it sees

    We do need more details though. Does this occur when you restart the car and it's warm?
    Any engine codes or lights?
    Other symptoms that might not seem related that you have noticed?
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
