Agreed! But I would like to know what was the cause, not only for myself, but for anyone else who has had this happen.

:wtf:Ran perfect again this evening.

I took the car for a four mile drive this morning before work and it ran perfect. This is the first time that it ran good in the morning since I started having the issue. Will try again this evening and tomorrow morning and will keep everyone posted. I would much rather know what caused this...

Yes I have considered - mentioned in an earlier post but hoping not to. I let the car sit all day today and figured I'd take it out for a quick jolt this evening with my son - see if it would do it. Ran like a champ. The only thing I tried was installing a brand new ballast resistor. Could...
