Same problem as last time. Accelerated out of a gas station, going down a road and it cuts out. Power steering is gone and 3 lights come on. I pull over, I smell something sweet and the I smell gas. I go to start the car and it takes about 10 seconds to start. This last happened on November 5th and my dealership fixed it and ont he invoice it read:


Recalibrated PCM with latest update and replaced blown fuse to secondary air injection.


My friend Brandon looked at me when I read that to him and said there's no way that's the fix and it's going to happen again in a couple weeks. Damn I was hoping he would be wrong.

So! I need new ideas as to what's wrong.
 
You smelled something sweet? That's anti-freeze my friend; you might have problems far bigger than you want.

Got any codes?

Have a look for the fuse they replaced; obvious, but I'll state it anyway. If it keeps blowing, there is a reason... you've got a short somewhere. But I'd also be looking for issues with your coolant; watch the level, keep an eye on the color of your coolant. See if you can figure out where the smell is coming from.
 
Well the dealership couldn't find a problem which is what worries me, I've got an hour drive to my fathers today...we'll see how it goes.
