the cars starts every time and is driven. it started occasionally, where the engine would stumble and continue fine. now it goes great then it will cut off. then after a few minutes it will crank and run again. it may go 100 ft. or 10 miles. i've changed the fuil filter, with the same result. fuel pump? preasure regulator? can the fuel cap wear and throw the preasure off? thanks

Hi go3cargo,

When engine stalled, were the dashlights showing? If not, you might have a fault with the ignition switch.

There was a safety recall for the item and you ought to call your nearest dealer for a confirmation and if your vehicle qualifies for the recall.
