Hi, I have this kind of problem:
When the car is cold there is no trouble to start it, but if you shut off it once or more it starts to give you head acke its stalls. It could stall while I'm parked or while driving. when I'm trying to start it turns over but won't start. That what I do in order to start it: I stroke or hit the stir wheel and the green light comes one and I start and go, some times it won't work right away it could stall again. Usually, if I start and drive it could go for hundreds miles without any trouble, only when it is cold it could stall but after it worms up runs perfectly. Only don't turn the key in the ignition. While I'm driving if I don't give it proper speed or gas to her she would stall and won't start if you don't live it for few minutes or bang on the wheel for it to start. Please let me know could it be the main relay or the anti theft system. thanx

Hi dimon1,

I would suggest checking the PGM-FI relay first. Check for bad circuit boards.
