So there I was
I had parked at Wal-Mart to go buy some crap and when I came out I got in my car and started it..... and that's when it happened. The car started idleing funny and then it shut off. What the hell is going on
. I started it again and it did it again, and again, and again. Then the last time I started and revved it up pretty high, which made it stop, but still what the hell causes something like that
. I have seen people on here posting how there engine acts up but I didn't think I woulf have that problem........ I guess I joined the club huh?

No check engine light, and I'm not sure what a CEL is. I don't think it's IAC...... reason being, it's not consistent. It will be fine for a few days then it will do it again. Could it be anything else?

I had this happen a few weeks back...when it was frigid in NYC. My 02 TLS didn't startup...the engine just kicked a few times...then nothing. I resorted (by reflex) to the old carburator trick of stepping on the gas and turning the ignition. The car started up, and never had the problem again. I was thinking that it could be the battery, but since then, the battery worked just fine.
Is this the vapor lock? What is an IAC?
