Car ran fine for 20 minutes. Stopped and it stalled. Let sit ran for a while and then it sputterd & bogged down while traveling at around 60 mph. Parked car and then spent 30 minutes starting & re starting & re starting. Gave up for 10 minutes, Went back to re starting and the car ran great! I am LOST!

Hi:

It sounde like there may be a fuel problem or a sensor going bad. What I suggest is to go to a nationally recognized auto parts store and have them scan the computer for trouble codes. They usually don't charge for the service, and it could be very helpful.

Without scanning, I want to point my finger at a fuel pump or map sensor.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
