Hi folks,
Car (a 95 900s 2.3L non turbo with 116,000 miles) starts to suddenly die since last month. However, before it only dies when car is at low speed or stop. I did a search on previous posts and had my mechanic did the following:
1. cleaned throttle body
2. cleaned purge valve
3. cleaned idle air control valve
4. cleaned air flow meter
Today, car suddenly died when I was driving at around 40 miles per hour. It is a completely lost of power without any sign. I think this looks more like a electrical problem than a fule or air line problem.
Also I found recently if I start my car at cold I have to turn the key to ignition position and keep it there for a while, if I release key to on positon quickly the engine fires then dies.
I have been reading previous posts, is this a ignition switch problem or some thing else? Please give me some advice. Thanks.
