Hello,
New to the forum so sorry if this has been asked before.
I have on 05' Element AWD, Auto Trans, 73K miles. About 4 months ago my element would not stay running. I started it and it died. The check engine light is not lit. The only way to keep it running was to keep my foot slightly on the accelerator and as soon as I took it off the engine would quit. This problem lasted for about 1 day and then it stopped. I did not do anything to fix it and it has been working ever since. I drove it yesterday and it ran normal. I went into the store came out, started it, and it would not stay running just like the problem before. I drove it home with one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake. I took it to my mechanic who hooked up the code reader and he said there was no code set. He said he would not touch this problem.
Has anyone had this problem before and if so how was it solved? I would like to avoid guessing and swaping parts to solve it.
Thanks
