Does it die or stall, or does it just not start? Can you be more specific?

It turns off.. No acceleration... The dash lights and everything still be on.. I only know it's cut off when I can't accelerate anymore... Then it doesn't start anymore.. Just cranks but now the 0606 code came back up so I guess I have to take it to a dealership and deal with the high prices

With the P0606 code, you need to check the fuse like stated above, and check all ground wires.

If it keeps happening, you might need to get a new PCM programmed unfortunately. The dealer will charge a ton, so look up other options if you HAVE to go that route.

i guess that saves you a lot of gas.... take it back to the dealership and get it scan. it will cost 75.00
