Start and Die

first of all, rather than trying to find a quick fix for your dilemma, i suggest you fix the problem with your tailights first. i know it's not an attractive thing to do, but it must be done to prevent further problems in the long run. from the info that you've given in this post and your previous post, it sounds like somehow your parking lights wiring has contact with your brake lights wiring. this should mean that when you turn on your parking lights, your brake lights turn on too?! can you imagine how dangerous that can be for people driving behind you? also, brake lights tend to be brighter than parking lights simply because the filaments in the bulb burn hotter and brighter. they are not meant to be "on" for extended periods of time, and if they are, will probably end up melting the plastic housing surrounding the bulb(s). please trust me on this one.....you will want to fix this problem first before anything else. all problems can be resolved with a hammer

had something like that on a SAAB the otherday just re-did the tach learning and that fixed it.

I actually don't have a problem with the startng and dying anymore...I just decided to use timer checking....works great.
