RE: car stalling ocassionly
What tripped me out is after i took it off, like about 3-4 days later, I turned my heater on andi was driving on a 3 lane ONEway street. I was on the right lane going about 15mph and my car just shut off, my wheel locked andI couldnt do ****. There were cars all around me but luckily my car pulled to the right (cuz i needed an alignment LOL saved me) and hit the curb and i stomped on the brakes. Apologized to the people behind me, turned on the car and BOOKED THE SCENE, so embarssing. And now when i do turn on my heater, my car acts weird so i turn it off right away. SoI havnt used heater since then, AND ITS FREEZING HERE ;[
