My 2002 Crn Vic. starts up fine, but won't stay running unless you keep your foot on the gas pedal and rev it up, until it begins to idle on it's own.....sometimes taking up to 30 minutes. Once it begins to idle on it's own though, it runs fine. But if you turn it off, you have to go through this process all over again. It also has quit on me while driving (when I am accelerating suddenly, such as when merging onto a highway ramp.) It has thrown codes for EGR Valve, EGR Sensor, & Misfires. I have replaced the EGR Sensor, my mechanic said it didn't need EGR Valve. Also, just replaced # 5 Ignition Coil. BUT, when mechanic took it for test drive after repair, he said it quit on them while driving, and that it MAY be the Idle Air Control. HELP! What is the real problem with this car...I can't keep sinking money into repairs that are not solving the problem!!
