Maybe you local boys can help me.

So I am on spring break and I have spent the entire time wrenching on the tour. I preformed the throttle hang fix and it fixed the hang as well as the moosing problem. On the third start I was convinced the computer was trained and my problem was fixed. I left for no more than two minutes and came back to a dead car. The engine would turn and the fuel pump is cycling. The car didn't throw any codes either. I disconected and reconnected the battery and it fired right up. I would say that the computer must have went crazy in my abscence but wouldn't that warrent a code or two. If I don't get this fugger running before I go back to school I will have to think about it untill summer break. I can't wait to fix this problem so that I can move on to the next one so if you guys have any advice that would be great.

I have had that issue every once in a great while with my car. Start it and urn it and shut it off only to have it act completely dead. I chalked it up to a PATS issue with my computer.

Also, did you just start and shut shut down the car 3 times back to back or did you actually drive it? It takes full hot and cold driving cycles for the computer to relearn the long term trim items.
