I hate jumping peoples shitty cars. Cops will not jump your car these days just because of the fact they have too many electronics in the cars that are sensitive to over/undervoltage ..
I am sure the newer cars are this way with stock electronics.

You could have a short to power on the fuel tank presure sensor signal circuit or you could a damaged terminal in connector C160 causing an intermittant open. Or you could have a control module long term memory failure.



























We cant tell you anything helpful.........sorry. Need codes
