Default Engine would not run after fuel fillup?
Anyone ever had this happen? After sitting for 5 minutes it ran just fine.

Jim,

When you say it didn't run, do you mean it started, but died instantly, did it crank but not start, or did it never crank at all?

It would idle but as soon as you wanted to move it died and had to restart then would die again. It did this nearly 10 times till I got it out of the way.

Hi Jim-

Sounds like the anti-theft mode had kicked in. Did you have any DIC messages? Any stored codes?

Jim,

Hopefully the garage will quickly be able to identify/resolve the source of the interruption so it doesn't become "coincidental" with a whole bunch of other activities.
