My car will run rough after running for 5-10 min. It will run fine then start bucking, then go away. Today it stalled at a stop and would not star. I noticed the brake peddle froze and it would just turn over. It finally started when the gas peddle was pushed.

Hi:
Is the check engine light on? Of not, you may want to check fuel pump pressure. You can do it yourself. Watch this video:

Many parts stores will rent or lend the gauge to check. Let me know what type of pressure you find.

If the light is coming on, there is a code set in the computer. Take the car to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer for codes. (most do it for free) That will help point us to the problem.

Let me know what you find.
