Sounds like a clogged fuel filter.

Alien-Tek,May 25 2007, 08: Wrote:So I've had this problem as of late, I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me what this is related to... he goes...

I am driving along the highway, when all of a sudden the car starts to slow down (kinda like it wants to die) so I get off the gas and then back on it and it starts to go again. This has happened a few days in a row.

On my way home I am stopped at a light, when the light turns green, I put it in first and give it some gas. It catches, and when I go to give it more gas it wants to die. I switch to second, it speeds up slowly and a little bit of sputter. Switch to third, fourth, fifth it's ok. Now I am cruising in 5th and it starts to sputter and slow down. Down shift to 4th and back up to 5th and it's ok... and it goes on and on.

After going through all this from Etobicoke to Aurora, I stop at a light (after long drive on the highway) and it sputters and stalls out. Start 'er up she runs fine for awhile.

No CEL, 1 stored code for random misfire and 1 for too lean.
I don't know if this is related.

Cleaned MAF and air filter, cleaned both O2 sensors, checked plug gap, wires and coil. All looks ok.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers!
Steve.
