My car starts and as soon as the motor warms up it quits. What's wrong? I had the throttle, body sensor, modulator choke-pullup, and the transmission checked or replaced. Could it be the regulator that regulates the charging of the alternator that needs to be replaced? Please help as soon as possible. The car is a es300.
