The same thing happened to me, and now the engine is no longer in the car. I hope you don't have the same problem I do, or you'll be getting a new engine!

Rockers decided to they didn't like being under the cams anymore, so they ran off and sent lovely metal filings throughout the rest of the engine to say goodby!

Same thing happened to mine, only happened once though... Dealer said it was probably the crankshaft position sensor, but I haven't had time to take it back in and have them order the part.

I've heard of crank sensors going right away, just pray that the problem is just that.
