I was driving my car last when it suddenly died on me and after i pulled off the road to restart it it now bucks when i accelerate. it is a 2005 chevy cobalt 2.0L engine with about 45000 miles on it. Its almost like it stalls when i'm driving it. Once i get to around 45-50 miles an hour its fine whe i slow down its fine just when i accelerate that i get the bucking sensation.
