MasterI hope someone can help you.. I really do... but remember this is an online forum. Your description of the problem may be close to accurate but your car is not in front of us. We have to go off info. posted.....so a small amount of guessing is in order. The people answering your question are really good some better than I. So, give them a break especially partsguy and patrick and mastertech. They know cars but your car is not in their garage. So, some 'guessing' has to factor in. Good luck!

dmnhntr08 May 09, 2012, 12:24ReplyRookieI had the same problem and it was the alternator. I thought it was the neutral safety switch since I had a new battery/starter and occasionally had to start from neutral. It cost me around $280 for me to get that replaced but has been fine ever since.
