Re: hiccuping/stalling while driving

Fro example, on a 1/2 hour trip this morning it happened twice and about 15 minutes into the trip.
Any thoughts and suggestions on what is causing this are appreciated.
UPDATE:

It turned out to be a crankshaft sensor. If you're having the same "symptoms" I'd have your mechanic check that first. If that's fine, then check then the throttle body and finally the DIC.
