Friggin' car... stalled out a handful of times this morning in rush hour traffic.
Now, there was something interesting that happened, though... After the first stall, I'd put it in drive, it would stutter, then just stall again. If I gave it some gas (not easy to do in traffic), it would lurch into gear, and stall out shortly after.
Now the fun begins... after doing this routine a couple of times, and driving it for a good 2 minutes through a parking lot, it stopped stalling, it idled better, and even my infamous Jetson's sound f/x stopped. The temp guage looked a bit higher than it was, but, nothing seriously high.
Any insight?

Well... it's been doing the same on different companies- both Shell and Mobil give me the same problem.

Did it rain last night?
Maybe water in the system or something.

I think Baco may have it... Hopefully they can disconnect it (same thing they did on Robin's Cavalier), but, I'm still hesitant. Thanks, all! J And, there has been a now- routine CEL.
