So I was drive and I went to do a u-turn and in the middle of doing so it stalled out. I put I park started it did turn back on. I drove home and it's been parked since in fear it would do it again. I did Google to see if I could find out what may have happened and I found a lite of others saying it has did the same thing and they have replaced a throttle body, someone else said something like a get r something can't remember and a others said antifreeze drip on a wire. I don't know I just no I have a daughter who drives this also and if this happen she wouldn't no what to do, so I have it parked. I was just hoping maybe some might have an Idea about what's wrong. Also I would go up a hill and It seem that I would need to give more gas like it wasn't getting gas kind of. So I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or input to give me a idea on the problem. Thanks

This could be a couple of things. It could be a throttle body issue. But it could also be a fuel issue.

Here is a guide on this issue that will get us started:

What I would suggest is checking the fuel pressure and just take it to a safe place like a parking lot and do u turns.

Then we can clean the throttle body just to make sure it is clean.

However, without some clear issue that we find, the only way we are going to know that it is fix is that it doesn't do it again. Which means we are going to have to drive it.

Hopefully we find some clear info from the fuel pressure and we can go from there. Thanks
