So I recently brought the car back out for this year. A few days ago I started the car up, drove fine. Start it for work the next day, it starts fine and drives fine all day. The 3rd day of having it out, I drive to work with no issues. When lunch came I tried to leave and when the car started instantly noticed the check engine light. So I sat there letting the car run and out of no where it shut down. I tried to start it back up but it dies pretty much right away. When I went to leave work later on the car started up no problem. When I went to pull out it died right away. After sitting for a while trying to start the car it randomly started up. Drove it down the road to my work and it ran for about 35 min until I shut it off. It does this randomly. Last year it did this same thing.. it would go completely lean and when I would give it gas I would get no response until it dies. last year before I put the car away I thought I fixed it because it threw a code for the map sensor. The wires going the the connector were exposed so I thought maybe it was a bad connection. I replaced the connector, but not the map sensor. This year I have a P0122 for TPS and it also threw the same code for the map sensor. I have a feeling it could possibly be the map sensor? It’s an Omni 4 bar. I’ve read of these things going bad after a few years. Would the map sensor cause my car no to start and to only start sometimes? Thanks for any input.
