My car has suddenly started stalling while sitting idle (such as at a stop light). It would re-start, but only after 10-12 attempts. The engine sounds like it wants to turn over but just doesn't.
I took it into the dealer and they tested it (transmission, battery are 2 things I remember them mentioning) and said everything passed. I added a fuel additive to the gas tank in case I had some bad gas or water in the tank. Car ran ok for a few days, but all in-town driving. This morning while on the interstate it suddenly went from 65 to 40 and wouldn't drive any faster. It then stalled while I was in motion. The car did restart but I don't know if it would drive over 40.
Help. I don't know what to check or try next.
