After several tries I can get it going, but the engine frequently stops if I slow down or stop; when it does so the power steering stops working. It's very noisy and the car shakes and accelerates very slowly. If I can get the car to around 40-60 kph, it'll nearly always suddenly start running fine, but one time it was shaking and being noisy for 20 minutes; it was fine the next day. The problem occurs most frequently if I start the car around 30 minutes after parking it; it's occurred once or twice after work and never in the morning. The problem has persisted the whole time I've had the car; during that time I've changed the battery once and had the car serviced twice. It's been happening more frequently recently. Thanks for any help, Andrew.

Have the codes read and post the numbers here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
