Alright, I'm stumped. Neither my mechanic nor I could figure out what is wrong. Everything inside the engine looks fine, however, the car has a nasty habit of just completely dying on me at random times. Battery is fine, Starter is fine, Alternator is fine all tested and verified. I had a massive oil leak coming from the VVT gasket. My mechanic suggested maybe the loss of oil was causing loss of oil pressure, however the car still turns off after the leak was sealed. All belts are tight. Other symptoms are my RPMs are fluttery, sometimes they'll drop really quick or drop to zero whilst driving and the throttle will be non responsive. It'll kind of pull back when going from 2,000 rpms to about 1,500. When the car dies usually it only dies in the morning and then drives okay the rest of the day. What could it be? I'm gonna change my transmission fluid next week and maybe that'll solve the rpm issue. I got a CEL (P0420) however I doubt my cat could be causing this. Any advice? I'd really appreciate it. If your advice ends up helping me out I'd even gift $20 PayPal. Thanks.
