I have had this car for about 4 months now. I've noticed when I accelerate rapidly, it cuts out. Like the fuel is shut off and then back on one time.

This morning it started shuddering and the engine is making a squeaking type of noise at idle. It goes away and the engine runs fine at road speed.

It also stalled on me when I pulled up in front of the house. I can't afford to start changing stuff without some direction to start looking. A passer-by said it sounded like a bad Fuel Injector Sensor. Any ideas?

Help!
