I have a 1998 Pontiac transport. The van will start up but soon as you try to put in in gear it cuts off. You have to keep trying to get the car into gear and maybe after six tries it start. This has been happening for a couple of months. Finally I took the car to Firestone and they said I needed a new battery. So I bought a new battery. The battery and labor cost $179. When I got ready to leave the car did the same thing and the guy said the computer had to pick up the new battery and the car would be ok. I purchased the battery three days ago. Please help.
