Idle laws in Jersey promote excessive starter use anyhow. If it doesn't work all the time, it may be the solonoid acting up. Currently, I'm running with the coolant level sensor unplugged. Didn't give me a problem when I hit heavy rain, last time. They did do something with it, but if I leave it plugged in, it will still die while I'm driving. Leaving it unplugged seems to keep it running.

Cause of the problem... ILLOGICAL COMPUTER. Guess I've got a female ECM...:lol:

My Century did the same thing. We relaced the low coolant module and haven't had a problem since.
