Car failed 2 times while driving on the highway and failed to allow engine to run over 900 rpm's. Part replaced was throttle body chamber assembly.
"pure" gas smell in exhaust. . . . Vehicle fails to restarts after being driven short distances , turne off, and re-started. Has happened since I have purchased the vehicle. . . . Dealership/repair never finds any problems. This is the 5th time it has happened over a year. Car will not re-start, unless I wait 2-4 hours & try again. Dealership/service said may have something to do with where I purchase fuel. . . . But I fill up at several places through out the week. . . So I know that's not the problem.
