This warning icon has a "triangle with a ! in the center of it and circle around it with an arrow on the circle. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? This light starts blinking and it fills like the engine is not getting fuel. But when I let my foot off the gas peddle slowly, the car starts to act OK again. this happens sometimes, not all the time

You happen to have the owners manual? I cant find anything in my software to identify a particular warning light. Maybe try Googling it?
