Asked by Zreed84 Aug 28, 2019 at 11:47 AM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have to wait a few hours each time to get it
started . It will crank and idle fine for a little while
and then just die . Service engine soon ,low coolant
and check battery light will come on after it dies .
Then it won't start back up . If I get in the gas pedal
hard it dies also . I've changed the fuel tank, pump ,
filter, ignition control module , even tried a new
computer in it and it still does the same thing
