Door locks make the car shut down? Now that is wiiieeerd. Maybe there is a ground that is toasted.

lol... made in space!made by space? lol.... The car wont cut off. That's strange. when it's electrical it's so much harder to diagnose. Let us know what you find.

Whats the chances your car is equipped with an aftermarket turbo timer, or remote start?

absolute none to none lol. had the car almost 2.5 years now and this never happened. mine was the bottom lowest of the low models made. came with no ammenities whatsoever. has all the cutouts and stuff for all the nice extras but nothin. and when i installed my alarm i noticed no aftermarket alarms or anything were added in. but i dunno espically when someone knew exactly what the prob would be. gonna scratch my head for a long time on this one.
