After that happens it's almost like the pedal is "mushy" and I can't get the car to respond unless I really press on the gas. I had a voltage problem a while back but a new battery fixed that.
It seems to happen mostly between 30-60 mph and mainly when I am in town. If I drop the car down a gear and get the RPM's back up it seems to respond and come back to life. If I really punch when I am getting on the freeway it does great. Most of my driving is in town and I always have the ECT/PWR turned on.
Any thoughts or comments is greatly apprectiated. Thanks.

hey all.....very intersting thread...i am having a problem w/ my 98 g4 too...
this si what happend today:
i pull into my parking garage and i put the car in Reverse to back into a parking space....all of a sudden the car just cuts off (stalls)....i didnt know it cut off cuz i didnt even hear it.....so im tryin to give it gas and the car doesnt move....i look at the dash and the check engine light and oil light are on.....very weird that it just cut off on me.....so i put the gear back in Park and re-start her up and was able to pull into the parking space....
also, my car seem pretty sluggish lately...i think it may have similar symptoms as you guys....
