Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. I will be assisting you with your question today. I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your vehicle and will do my best to help you out. Was this problem going on before you replaced the ignition and other parts? **\*\*As far as phone calls, If you didn't request it, it is most likely the Website prompting you, not me. A Live Call is a "Premium Service" and will cost more money. I prefer communicating via this site, but in some cases a phone call may be recommended.\*\***

Any ideas
