problem #1

Nov 032008

DeVille 4.9L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 190,000 miles

I'm currently living in Alabama. I drove this car all the way from San Diego and had no problems until about month after I got here. The first thing I did when I got into town a few days later was get a oil change. The first problem I have is the car will not start sometimes. When I turn the ignition the only thing that happens is the dash board lights up and nothing else. No sound or nothing. I normally have to wait for a couple of minutes and then it starts. I replaced the starter and the battery but no joy still having the same problem. About a week ago after return from a trip out of town about a 40 min drive the next day when I stop at a stop sign and begin to turn the car cut off, and on the way back while turn into a parking lot it cut off again. Later on that day while stopping at a light the car cut off again. Now while slowing down the car does a jerking motion and cut off sometimes but not always. If not while slowing down it will cut off after I stop or while turning. I need find out whats wrong before I take into a shop and pay too much money.
