So not quite sure what's going on here other then it may be fuel/electric related. I was leaving work today everything was fine, I get to a stop sign and the ca just dies????? I was like wtf??? Start it back up and keep on driving. Well about 2 lights later when I get into 3rd/4th ca starts sputtering/losing power, but not dead. Then starts seeming like it's mis-firing. Then again like wtf? After getting it home, idles just fine, not sure what in the world is going on. Anyone have any idears??? :wtf2:
