I really can't complain I have had the car 11 years and I still enjoy it I have had a lot of work done over the years but this one is too much Diagnostic error P1381 = Ignition System or Misfire I can drive twenty miled no problem. Turn the car off and it will not start until it has sat and cooled. I never over heat or lose juice then it will start right up. BUT the last trouble I had it stopped in a very busy crossing like I turned the key off and would not start again until about hour of sitting, Then it started up and i went a few blocks home no problem. I dont know how to be specific with a mechanic and I dint want unnecessary repairs and cost. How can this error be pinned down the definition is : Intermittent Interruption or Misfire the error code is P3181 Manufacturer Control Ignition System or Misfire. How the hell do you get this fixed?? Help Me PLEASE $$$$
