I have a 2012 Equinox that has developed an issue. Upon startup, it will do its usual higher idle, then come down to normal idle where it will start bucking, and either die completely, or come out if it. 90% of the time it dies. After starting it back up, it will run fine.
While the vehicle has sat for the last 2 years, basically because of this issue, plus the amount of money spent to keep it in the road.
It has had an O2 sensor, multiple vvt solenoids, plugs, exhaust manifold, high speed fuel pump, the timing chain done twice since we’ve owned it, but believe to have been replaced one other time, and has the breathable oil cap.
If this is an easy fix, we’ll keep it for a spare car, if it isn’t, it’s going bye-bye. I’m tired of spending money on it.
Has anyone else had this issue, or know of a solution to it?
Thanks in advance for any helpful info.
