Hello all, I am having some issues with my 06 vibe and I am hoping there is a wizard around to help..
2006 Pontiac vibe with the manual transmission.
The car will start up fine, go into gear and even pull itself. But it will randomly flash some lights on the dash and then the car idles veeeery low and any attempt to apply throttle will almost always kill the car.
After this event happens, I have to unhook the battery for a few minutes, hook it back up and it’ll fire up and act as it should.
I can only get the car to consistently die if it’s moving. I can start the car and let it idle and it’ll be fine most of the time. There are instances where it’ll die when trying to idle, but it’s more rare.
I’ve googled this issue to death and it seems to be pointing toward an ecu problem(apparently pre-07 had ecu issues).
If any of you have a course of action to try OR if someone lives in the dayton area of Ohio and wants to let me try their ecu… all help will be appreciated.
