My car seemed to be running smooth until one morning on the way to work I stopped at a light and it died. It kept dying at each light. Started back up just fine. Check Engine light came on codes indicating a code error for the TPS, and the code was P3183, (I think that was it) which my mechanic said was the Camshaft Position Sensor. My mechanic replaced both as well as the fuel filter. To no avail. It's actually worse now. The car used to idle ok, but now it idles very roughly, and it stalls not when the engine is cool, but when it warms up. Any suggestions?
