Can you give us more information on what's happening or what it feels like? The speeds it's happening, if it's only cruise control? etc. etc.

I was thinking the same thing Becky. Fuel filter or maybe even a coil pack.

You can always give it a glass of water. That might help.

Oh man, they had a mechanic on Fox News today talking about how they kill them. It was sad.
