“Same as I have seen on the site, the 1994 Dodge Intrepid is stopping while in motion. At first, it would start again immediately, then after a few moments, then hours.. And now it is up to not starting at all. We have replaced several parts and nothing seems to make a difference. Do you have any idea what the problem can be? Please email with ideas..”

The recall notice said one indication of the problem was stalling.”
