My Cutlass is acting up


Recommended Posts

Posted

Monday when I was going 60mph my Cutty just died. I pulled over and tried starting it atleast 10times and all it would do is crank, so I called my dad. He got there and still nothing at this point I figured it was gonna have to get towed. Then a cop stops and asks me if my car is dead, I told him it died while I was driving and wouldnt start. When I went to show him what is was doing it started right up. WTF

 

The only thing I noticed is it didnt sound like it was firing or smell flooded, I thought my fuel pump died untill it started back up.

it could be an icm. i just replaced one in an old buick that was doing the exact same thing, car hasen't missed a beat since

i had that happen b4 too, and i just disconnected the battery and then reconnected it. it was the icm...it threw the code. i haven't had a problem since, and i didn't replace the icm. it was a fluke
