For the past three weeks or so I have been having horrible car troubles. My car will lost power and stall on me in the middle of driving. Sometimes I am even going as fast as 40mph and I can feel it losing power. At that time I usually pull over to the side of the road, let it stall and then start it right back up. I can go a few miles and it happens all over again. Sometimes I am at a stoplight and it does the same thing. This first happened three weeks ago...It happed four or five times. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't diagnose me. Then, the car ran perfectly fine for two weeks. Now, it started happening again yesterday. It has happened three or four times during every short trip since yesterday. I took it to a different dealer and they can't find the problem either. I've already changed the module and both coil packs so it's not that. ANY IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING? I know nothing about cars -- except that I want mine to work :) I'd appreciate your help.

Go to one of these places (http://www.seafoamsales.com/buy.htm) and buy a can of SeaFoam & dump it in your tank. Sounds like you've got some dirty fuel injectors or junk in the fuel lines.
