as you said, we have the same problem.
im having my car looked at by my cousin tomorrow and i guess - it might be some sort of fuel problem.
ive had multiple people say that its a fuel problem and to check the fuel filter. that should cost around four dollars and im seriously hoping thats it. if not than its the fuel pump itself.
its got to be something simple because my car has always ran very well. the only stuff ive had to do to it was get the regular oil and "14 point" tests and i do that on time.
the odd thing is, i just got my oil checked like three weeks ago. i would think that if they noticed the fuel filter was close to bad that they would have told me so they could have made thirty bucks.
ill let you know. these forums have scared me to death because apparently this type of car is famous for expensive problems. i just got finished paying my tuition deposit so i cant afford to spend money.
