What an ordeal! I had a lot of work done to my 03 Montero sport. Timing belt pulley, adjuster, fan clutch pulley, radiator, camshaft and crankshaft sensors,and an ecm. When vehicle was reassembled car would start, but would only run 20 minutes and shut down. My mechanic(ase certified) tested and tested, but couldn't find the issue. I had it towed to the dealer, and after 3 hours of labor at $135 per hour, i was told that the camshaft sensor was bad. Do not use aftermarket electronic parts for your car!!!!! Ordered part. $94. Towing it back to my mechanic, as the labor rate is only $40 per hour. Hopefully this will end my ordeal. Car out of service for 6 weeks now. The cheaper parts cost you big bucks when they fail.

 

Strange as it may seem, more often than not, the automatic stopping of the engine in idling mode is related to various electronic components of the car. You buy the cheapest one, and then you end up paying for expensive repairs. The first thing to check, of course, is the idle speed sensor. Sometimes called the idle speed regulator, it is often confused with the throttle position sensor. My preference is for the Honda. So after suffering with my old 1997 Honda CR-V SUV, on the advice of a friend through https://www.jdmbuysell.com/, I bought myself a Honda Accord Euro R. I hope it will not let me down.
