Hello, I have been following this news group for the past few weeks (newcomer to the internet) and I'm hoping that someone can give me a hint in solving this very frustrating problem, which started about two weeks ago: While driving, the car looses power ( it feel as if running out of gas) and the "check engine" light comes on. Most of the time, the condition corrects itself within a few seconds, but sometimes the engine dies. When it does, it can be restarted almost immediately and driven off as if nothing ever happened. Sometimes this happens twice a day and then a couple of days pass without a problem. We have 162 K miles on the car, it is in excellent condition and runs fine otherwise. Fuel pump and filter were replaced about year ago. What could it be? Thanks in advance for any input. Karl
