I have had my car back and forth to the mechanic for the past 8 months, and have not been able to drive it more than 15 minutes. I had a new few pump installed in the tank, a new computer box. However -- I start the car -- drive about 5-10 miles, and then the car slows and cuts off. I wait a few minutes, start the car, travel about a half a mile, and the car cuts off.

Someone mentioned to me that it might be the ERG Valve.


Help, help, help?

Thanks so much for your help!

Its hard to say without some more information. I need to know if it is loseing spark or fuel. I would assume since you have a new fuel pump you are losing spark but that is a guess. If you can see if you lose spark it is a good chance your modual is overheating. You also have a cam and crank sensor but those are a little more unlikley. More info is needed.
