Well, my car had been running very well for the past few months and its now beginning to develope a new problem. The newest ordeal is a bit strange. The car is stalling while driving, but the tach doesn't drop to zero. In fact sometimes, like on the highway, the car will lose power as if its about to stall and the tach is still in to 1700, and then it will suddenly come back to life. Other times i'll be just driving at a lower speed and the car will stall out. Its not stalling at idle and this happens about 3 to 4 times a week. I also noticed that the car stalls most frequently right after i get a full take of gas. When i go to restart the car, half the time it will start right back up and other times it takes a while to crank it as if its flooded. Any help would be nice.
