I have had the same issue happen several times over the past couple months. Twice, while entering a freeway from the ramp, when I stepped on the gas the car did not accelerate but held steady at about 40 mph. This lasted less than a minute, and then the car began to accelerate and drive normally.
Recently, I experienced the same problem but before it resolved I had to stop at a stop sign. When I began moving again the car stalled out and I pulled over. I restarted the vehicle and as soon as I put the transmission in drive it died again. I was able to restart the car again, revved the gas a bit, and then put it in drive. It promptly died again. I have not been able to restart my car since. The engine will turn over, but not catch. I'm suspecting a fuel pump based on similar sounding questions I've read, but would like another opinion.
Thanks
