SC sputters and just shuts down WTF?
I was driving home from the supermarket yesterday (not getting on her at all) and doing like 30-40 mph, the car sputters a bit and just shuts down.... while I'm freakin' moving!
NO CEL... nothing!
So, my bud tells me this has happened to his SC.... tells me to remove key, wait a few minutes and restart.... I try it and it worksMy bud says his car was diagnosed with having bad gas.... I call the dealer (CED) and they also say bad gas....
since when does bad gas shut down a car? running poorly.... sure, shutting down? and then restarting without a problem?
OK... lemme hear some ideas as to what it is.... no, I don't have HPtuners or anything like that
what if I was in rush hour traffic? this has totally taking away my confidence in the car?

could certainly be bad gas... little water sucked into the lines...caused a bog then kills the motor...starts up and drives fine.
just gotta try and duplicate it again

not to threaqd jack, but i have similar problem with just the sputtering/hesitation. i have the 2.4 though. when i go to get on it here recently it seems like it doesnt want to get up and go like it did before. could this be bad gas as well or something else?
