The symptoms are that as I stated before that I had driven the vehicle 200 miles and shut it off and then it wouldn't start.
Then after it sat for a day it would start and run for ten seconds and then it would die and not start. If I took the positive cable off the battery for 5 mins then put the cable back on and waited for 30 seconds and tried to start it it would fire but not start. I took it to the dealership they found the converter was plugged they said that the temp went to over 500 degrees in a very short time so they disconnected the converter and replaced the O2 sensor it now starts and runs but the mechanic said that the computer sends out codes with the vehicle running or not. when I bought the vehicle I installed a new fuel pump,a fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator, coil, plugs and battery when it runs it does not misfire it seems to run fine either for a short time or until it is shut off then it won't start unless it sits for awhile. What I would like to know is this could the memory chip send out codes? Do I need to need to pull the the dome light fuse to stop this? what is a v r sensor and what is the gap supposed to be set at? How far away are you from Fargo ND 701-678-4185 The mechanic tested the coil and he put the orignal coil back in
