So im having some trouble with my sedan. its bone stock and since ive bought it ive put like 5k miles on it and had ZERO problems.
so today me and the misses decide to head down to the washington DC zoo. its roughly a 95 mile drive and its pretty much all highway other than the first and last 5 miles.
i wasnt beating the car or anything i was cruising between 55 and 70 most of the way and the car ran great untill i had the cruise on and some ding dong pulled out in front of the truck in front of me and i hit the clutch and slammed on the brakes and the car stalled out. no big deal whatever the revs went from like 2600-idle in a second and i didnt think nothing of it.
then i have to get off the highway, go through a redlight, and get on another highway and the car dies at the light. it runs great till you come to a complete stop and it just slowly dies. doesnt sputter the idle doesnt jump nothing it just doesnt idle. it starts right back up but if you dont hold a little gas on it or pull out right away it will die. i went through 4 miles of stop and go DC traffic like this then i get to the parking garage and it idels fine
leaving back hrough the same 4 miles of traffic it doesnt stall out once. back on the highway for about an hour and it will do it again. i even kept it under 60 the whole way home. it wasnt getting hot, running rough, sputtering or anything else like that.
2 short 15 mile trips after that is does just fine
