Car History: 3-18-03 I have had my car in the shop and they replaced my timing belt, a/c belt, p/s belt, tensioner etc. They also replaced a coolant hose and changed my oil. 03-10-03 I have also had flushed my coolant and had it refilled. Car had engine rebuild at 120k miles and new rotors and pads. at 125k miles the car had new ACT 2600 clutch installed. My car currently has 130k miles.
Problem: I was driving down the road after the timing belt ps belt ac belt etc was replaced and my car would go from 2kRPM in second gear to 0 rpm and die. I started it up and drove about 10 feet farther and it went from 2nd gear 2600RPM to 0RPM and the car died. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and let it sit for 10 minutes and started it up. The car didnt want to turn over. I then went ahead and waited another 5 minutes and started it again. The car started and idle'd what seemed to be fine. I lifted the hood and heard a clicking sound, it sounded like arc'd wires touching. I had the car tow'd to the dealership to get it diagnosed.
Dealership: They were able to reproduce the problem with the RPM's and with the clicking sound. They lifted the car up on the lift and took a look at the car trying to find where the sound was coming from but they cant find exactly where it is coming from.
3-20-03 they looked for 5hrs trying to find the problem but they were unable to do so.
3-21-03: I called and they thought the problem was fixed, However the technician drove it on a test drive and it stalled by dropping the RPM's immediatly. He is going to get it tow'd back to the shop and work on it some more. So far they have about 8hrs of labor and cant find the problem. Any ideas? I already suggested to them about the Capacitor ECU thing and perhaps vacuum but they say that none of those are the problem.
Thanks for you help here guys!
