What is causing this?
If you guys could help me out. I am having problems starting my suv. When I go to start it, the rpms don't hold and the engine turns off. How can I fix this?

I read in the manual that if you have a metallic device touching the housing (not the key ring hole part) of the key or another device with a transponder in it next to the key, it could cause your engine to stop running.
I don't know if this is really true, but they must have put it in the manual for some reason. I tested this a few times, but the car still started ok??!!

rpm drop
My suv is running so I don't need to tow it YET. This has happened to me three times in the last month. The car is fairly new so it is a concern. What gas do you guys suggest and what is ECU? Also I only have other keys and one of those grocery store id tags on my key holder. Thanx for the help!!!

I use premium grade gas, every time - 92 or 93 octane. I try and always go to a C-Store that has 93 octane. I use Chevron, Amoco, Texaco, or Conoco. Usually the only C-Stores that have 92 octane as premium grade is an off-branded store.
The ECU is the Electronic Control Unit. It is part of the vehicle's computer system that controls the engine with things such as air and fuel.
