Hello,

So lately my GS started to feel like it was going to die when I start to accelerate from a rolling stop. It will mildly stutter, then go like normal. It seemed like there was a lag in acceleration. Then last night, when I was turning into a parking lot, it died. I can reproduce the effect when I am doing a rolling stop type of thing and I go directly from brake to gas. Anyone else experience something like this?
I'm hoping it's a simple as a fuel filter. BTW I have always kept up with dealer recommended service.

Yea could be a filter thing. Also could be a TPS or APPS problem as well, i think a MAF sensor problem could cause that too. If its bogging out and/or shutting off, I would look more towards the TPS and APPS.

Any codes being triggered?

No, no check engine lights, which is also why I'm stumped. Taking it in for service tomorrow, hopefully I can reproduce it then.

Yea, the problem has to be excessive before the code will be thrown. Its like being bitten by a mosquito, bite you just once, no big deal, you keep going doing whatever. But when you start getting bit multiple time, THEN your brain (ecu ) starts sending signals that the problem needs to be addressed
