"This car is beautiful but frustrating"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car idles heavily, chugs, then dies at stop lights. I took it back to the dealer and he had a sensor replaced, but a week later, it happened again.

If anyone else has had this problem I would appreciate their input.

General comments?

The a/c is cold, the transmission is smooth and the car is beautifully clean. It is the perfect car for my 19 year old.

If you have oil in the distributor the problem lays there; it burns out the cam position sensor, very common with these cars. The distributor needs replacing, it cannot be repaired.
