You need to determine if it's TIME related or Movement related. What
happens if you just start it and idle in the driveway? If it's OK for
two minutes, but comes on as soon as you start to roll, it's probably a
wheel sensor. Scrub the front tone rings with a fine wire brush, and be
sure the sensor isn't 'dislodged' by a stone getting in there. You may
find the blue connector plugged into a 'dummy' plug which keeps it from
rattling. It's above or below the glove box, right?
