I have a 99 ran great then one day would start then die, plugged in to a diagnostic tool and spit out a bunch of codes. I replaced everything $$$. Still wouldn't run called garage and had towed.$$$ after several days of tests and head scratching my mechanic fixed it and it runs great now. Turns out my %@$# ignition switch was worn and was telling my security system that someone was trying to steal it every time I tried to start it. He bypassed the switch with $1.00 worth of wire . Wish I had that $1000.00 back in my checking account. Good luck and remember if it's got tits or tires it's gonna give you trouble
