Everything has been replaced on car ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel pump car starts sometimes then when it does start it will stall while driving down the road losing power steering and this can happen 15 mins into the drive or a hour. Whats the problem?

Reset security system if light continues to stay on after have a pro scan for codes to see why light is on all the time.

Hi I greatly appreciated you all responded to my email. I'm still in shock I
got a answer and cant not wait to refer my friends to your website and if a
review is a option I'm def going to do that! Thank you so kindly. Being a
single mom I am a easy target for being took advantage of when it comes to
some mechanics or auto part stores so free advice is just unreal.
I hope you don't mind me asking one more question. You see sometimes the car
wont turn over at All but then sometimes it will and like I said it can be
15 mins -1 hour before it completely stalls while driving loosing power
stirring. We have all coils replaced and fuel pump fuel filter o2 sensors
bunch of other stuff. It has to be something electrical because it ran fine
until my dad bought some keys of ebay programmed them himself. Now, we have
the original key tried that no good with it. We also did the sample thing
that was sent to us about resetting then doing the key on on back to off
truck and still nothings changed. Please help!

With the problem you are having a pro will need to use his scanner to see if he can find the issue. It may need to go to the dealer to be reprogrammed all together however.

Thank you unfortunately here in Athens, Ga we had the GM dealership tell us they didn't have a machine that old to go on our car to go to a small Japanese mechanic. Its now in the hands of a mechanic. So fingers crossed. Thank you for all your help.

The dealer didn't want to deal with it looks like, all it is is a card for those years that they put in their computer. And they wonder (dealers) why they don't have business or people complain
