My car will run just fine for about 10 miles and then the "Traction Service Light", the "ABS" light and the "Trc Off" light comes on. Then it wants to die at low RPM like at a Stop sign or at low speeds. You can put in nutral and restart it but if you don't give it gas to about 2,000 RPMs it will die again and it will keep doing this over, over and over. I got it home and the next day it will start and run fine for another 10 mile or so. I also noticed that when after I first start this vehicle the dash shuts down for a few sec. and come back on.
I chek the fuel presure when the engine was runing ok and when it was acting up, which both times it was around 36 PSI. I disconect the vacume from the regulartor and it went up to about 42 PSI.
So far I replaced the Crankshaft Postion Sensor, The Idle Control Valve.
I got a reader and checked the Codes and none were found.
