Thanks Mooseman I wasn’t sure about the crank position sensor being suspect. Without a lift this could be a very difficult for me to fix. The shop says the starter needs to be removed for access, true?

Thanks TJ, it was originally the very issue causing the car to die while driving which was indeed caused by this and it was corrected. Now the possibility of other hairline cracks in the fuse box, God I hope not.

Thanks Mooseman, the fast crank is the most baffling issue as I am unaware of anything other than a mechanical engine issue as the culprit yet the engine performance being normal, idle and lack of misfire detection seems to suggest no engine issues. I learned today from the shop who will be...

A few times I have encountered what someone suggested as vapor lock issues with this engine. What I have experienced is when in hot weather heavy traffic AC on then stopping to shop, then restarting the crank speed is noticeably faster similar to loss of compression followed by no start. Then...

A drive test today involving most stop and go covering over 30 miles plus a long idle of about 40 min. with AC on. This has not been possible since the fuse box circuit failure. This repair has fully addressed the original issue. I would be happy to offer assistance to anyone having this...

Thanks I appreciate the info Update Regarding This Issue FInally got my vehicle home from the garage who was unable, to repair it. Diagnosis: Shorted ECM and Bad Fuse box. No used parts available and frankly spend that much on a used part with no guarantee?? I drove it home luckily without it...

RE POST 33 Regarding BOB I don’t have programming software or desire to get that deep. The BOB referenced in the Amazon links and the video, was something new to me and I wanted to understand how it might be useful for me in troubleshooting my current issue. Since I do not have a “no com”...
