Default Dead in the intersection

was on my way fishing this morning, sat at a red light and my car idle started to dip below 1k and back up. put the brake on and revved. seemed fine, soon as green hit the car died and fed ex helped me push it into the gas station. I got the coils recalled 2 days ago and it ran strong since. it will turn over but not start. very confused. called the dealer and they said its not the coils nor their falt those basterds.

Any ideas while my cars sitting at the shell?

edt: shot the code P0010 bank circuit malfunction camshaft position actuator A. where is that sensor?

Yeah, it could be the coolant temp sensor has gone south and is causing the ECU to dump too much fuel into the engine.

Try cranking it over while holding the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.

Turns out it was the relay for the ecu. Easy $10 part. Took hours of researching. Could have been anything really. Thanks for the help
