NARROWLY MADE IT TO ROAD SHOULDER, WITH 2 VEHICLES MAKING EMERGENCY MOVES TO AVOID COLLISION WITH ME. AFTERWARDS MY VEHICLE WOULD ONLY START AFTER WAITING PERIODS OF 10-15 MINUTES, AND THEN ONLY RUN FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE SAME ENGINE ISSUE WOULD OCCUR. AFTER NUMEROUS STARTS AND STALLS, AND 4 HOURS LATER ARRIVED AT CAR REPAIR SHOP. AFTER CHECKING VEHICLE OVER, AND LOOKING UP "CHECK ENGINE CODE" THEY REPLACED A "ENGINE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR" I HAVE SINCE READ NUMEROUS BLOG POSTS ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS PART IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL. AND FELT COMPELLED TO WRIT
