Hey BG, I'm hoping one someone here is a mechanic or has automotive knowledge since I'm in need of some assistance.
Before I start, I want to make two things clear: I have pretty much no knowledge about cars, so I don't think I can help much in trying to look around under the hood. And my car in question is a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer.
Anyway, with that out of the way, the problem.
Some time in late March my car's engine suddenly up and died on me without warning while I was sitting at a red. I couldn't do anything but put my car in park, turn the ignition off, then turn it on again to start up the motor. After this I got myself an appointment with a nearby mechanic as early as I could and told them about what happened that day and how it might have been possibly connected to an earlier incident when my Service Engine light came on (I can't fully remember the details, but I think it was something about the connectors on the battery not having a good charge and they cleaned them). They called me later in the day and told me they took my car for a test drive and had it hooked up to their computer system for any abnormal readings but said they couldn't detect anything. So instead they fucked me over by saying my spark plugs were close to being due to be replaced and had to replace my coils to since one was corroded. Long story short, 910 bucks down the drain.
Now jump to earlier today as I was heading home. I was stuck at a light again and as I was turning to make a left my engine once again decided to crap out on me with the same story: couldn't do anything but place it in park, turn off ignition, start ignition again. So the 910 I spent didn't really do anything but bleed my wallet dry for a bit and confirm the problem is still there. So now I'm curious as to what the problem could be and I was hoping some BG users who are experienced with automotive problems might have an idea on what the problem could be.
Thanks in advance.
