How long is "a while"? Seconds, minutes, hours? Any codes?

A plugged fuel filter can act like that. So can a cracked circuit board in the computer.

Minutes but like I said I pulled a plug and had no fire on it. I waited about 15 mins and it starts up with fire on the plug. That would not be the filter would it?

Probably not. Is yours a 6 cylinder engine? If so, the most likely source of your problem is the distributor. It seems to be the problem in almost every complaint that shows up here on the board.

No its a 4 Cylinder. I have checked the coil pack and the ohms read good from 1 to 4 and 2 to 3. It has 154000 on it. Love the car but need it to run. I will be thankfull for any help on this.

Turn the key on-off-on-off-on and watch the dash. On your model I think it reads in the odometer. Write them down. Post them up here.

11 - Intermittent loss of crankshaft and/or camshaft position sensor signals to PCM

12 - Battery disconnected within the last 50 starts

33 - Air conditioning clutch relay circuit. An open or shorted condition detected in the air conditining clutch circuit.

55 - Just tells you that this is the end of the codes.


Might want to check the crank and cam position sensors. Seems like they tend to take each other out when they fail on the four cylinder engine.
