2003 Vibe Engine Shutoff Issues

Post by nschmidt »

Hello,Approximately a year ago the Vibe in question was in a stationary crash(stolen vehicle speeding through our driveway). It was considered not totaled, and as such repairs were conducted. However, I am having trans/engine shutoff issues every 4 miles I drive. It turns back on eventually, but that's not really helpful, it's 15 minutes later when it gets to the mechanic.Replacements Include:Fluids: Radiator, trans, oil, power steering.Catalytic ConverterO2 sensor cleanedFrame repairsI am completely stumped, as are the mechanics here in Nome. I am assuming you guys know a bit more about these vehicles and as such would have a more valuable opinion on this. I can post pictures, provide details, etc. as to most of the maintenance schedules, but it was similar to a post made earlier. I can get pictures soon, too.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=36093is the post, I will go find the pictures too. Any and all advice as to this, taking care of the Vibe in general (handles really nicely) would be appreciated to no end.Thanks again,--Nick

bump. Also, I am told that a ECU replacement would be a good idea. What part numbers/suggestions do you have for this? Any particular brands?
