Once a week or so when I turn the key to start the car, there is no sound at all and the trouble lights come on. If I move the shift lever back and forth from P to R a few times and turn the key,, it will start right up. Also, it will just stop running when I come to a stop light unless I put it into neutral. Over the past year we have replaced a fuel injector, a fuel filter and a radiator. The car has 150,000 miles. The check engine light comes on and goes off periodically. I love this car because the engine runs like a new car most of the time.
You may need a new ECM/computer. This model car is known for water leaking into the ECM from your air box. The drain hole in the bottom of the box gets clogged and after a while, your ECM gets flooded, because the water has no place to go, but onto your ECM, frying vitale circuits. Check your passenger side floor by the feet to see if its wet.

PROBLEM COMES AND GOES. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FILTER ALREADY. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN RUN FOR MORE THAN 5 MILES AND HAS FULLY HEATED UP.
The car was parked and then was unlocked through a window and put in to neutral to be able to be moved. The alarm went off and car does not start anymore when key is in ignition.
