I'm having similar problem. My car cuts out for a split second, then back to normal. I pulled the codes. Do any of these codes look like we have the same problem, or is mine totally different?

It started out doing it once a trip or so, but it got more frequent yesterday. No problem starting - hot or cold. Only the cut-outs when I'm rolling.

Codes from website http://www.allpar.com/fix/computer-codes.html :

P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2

P1494 Leak Detection Pump Switch or Mechanical Fault

P0303 Cylinder misfire detected

P1243 Injector Circuit Cylinder 8 Intermittent

P1289 There's a problem in the manifold tuning valve solenoid control circuit.

There were no codes thrown at all during the 3 hours. He is going to check the whole system for vacumn leaks. He feels like you guys that it could be the problem.

I've got it at RPM right now. After mechanic cleared the codes. I drove it for about 3 hours. It stuttered about 3 times I think. It happened when going thru traffic at 40-45 mph. It happened when going over a high bridge at 70 mph. It does not seem to do it when cruise is set at speed 65/70/75. Mostly when accelerating - even very slowly in traffic.

I hope it is that and not wiring issue somewhere. Should know tomorrow.

Yes,,I'd like to know also..

Is this an on-going problem over a long time frame, or an inconsistent happening?

Vehicle owners for decades have found out that it cost money to GUESS.

Having said that,,,,I'll guess,, for what it's worth...no charge:

1. IAC idle air control
2. TPS throttle position sensor
3. ECM electronic control module
4. Defective Coil Pack

All of the above probably should 'set a code'

Well crap,,I spoke too soon. Drove 3/4 of a mile to the bank today in the truck...ran fine. Came out, moved up to a left turn lane and stopped for the red light,,,engine died. Re-started, but for 6-8 seconds it barely ran like it was starving for fuel,,,then it grabbed ahold and ran fine the rest of the day... Problem still exists to some degree....and its getting tiring real fast having to think about it

We forget about bad gas, I don't ever remember getting any but then again I could have suffered for a while and not known what it really was. Like getting bad food, your belly aches for no reason then the problem just goes away if you don't die.
