the car stalls out whenever it wants to. i replaced the vacuum line on top of the motor and it ran like a scalded dog for a month,then it started stalling again,so i replaced the pcv valve and again it ran for about 10 days no problems.The crankcase sensor was replaced,the camshaft sensor was replaced. the only sensor i can think of to replace is the map sensor and it costs about 100.00.when the car stalls it will start up again in about a minute.Its not throwing any codes,the check eng light isnt coming on.
