It could be many things. It could be a bad ECM, or bad wiring, or your Pass Key system could be malfunctioning, or some engine sensor is malfunctioning at engine temperature (oxygen sensor, MAP sensor, engine temp sensor, intake air temp sensor, etc. etc.), or your camshaft magnet might be broken (which is what your cam shaft sensor is sensing), or your distributor coil could be bad, or your spark plug wires could be faulty (unlikely), or you might have gremlins living under your hood.

However, most of the above would set a code.

It sounds like a trip to a mechanic is in order.

If the check engine light went crazy after the last "bucking" event, you should have a code. Have you checked the battery terminals and alternator output?
Have you considered entering her in rodeo competition? :evillol:

Sounds like an electrical issue. When you shut down does your speedometer naturally fall to the right? So, if the car is intermittently shutting down it would look like it was spiking up over 100mph before coming back on and down to your actual speed.

Mine did something similar to this and it was a shorting ignition switch.

I hope you have fixed this by now.

My car did the same thing and it was the alternator battery combo.

New alt and battery water top-up fixed it.

When your power goes too low everything starts to shut down and
your car quits.
