Has anybody run into any cases where their car dies in traffic, or almost dies in traffic? This has happened to me twice in the last 2 months but its not consistently.

 

I just put a post out yesterday with a similar question. Is it jumping or the engine shaking??? I'm still researching my issue.

 

it feels like the engine is misfiring, and it shakes. Once it actually died on me, and recently it almost died (all the lights turned on and when I pressed the gas it was ok). I find that when i put it into neutral or turn the a/c on (while its in drive) its fine!

 

happened to me several times.. dunno why tho.

 

Check your TB and give it a good clean.

 

Idle air control motor could be bad, start with a TB clean tho

 

this also happened to me not too long ago , and then one time after it happened, i was giving it gas and im hearing the engine but the car was struggling to move......

 

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but, I have a K&N drop in filter, I've heard the the oil from the filter could possibly gunk up the TB, any input?

 

I would clean the MAF sensor, and the TB.
