Welcome to the site... Do you have to jump it after it dies or does it start, run for a minute, die and then you can start itup fine.

Thanks, You can start it , it stops, can start again, stops, etc. I thought it was the antitheft but after a overnight stay it was the same. There's just over a quarter tank of gas . No jump starting required. Any ideas ? My mechanics are stumped.

Great. Nothing visibly wrong. Had oil change 4 weeks ago. The stereo stopped working 3 weeks ago. Have not had a chance to check that out. The stereo stopped on a 600 mi road trip . That's about it.
