guess this is the right section....

like the title states....the motor just cut out two times....Started it up and it died after about 5 seconds of running...started it up again and it died again....started it up a third time and gave it a good rev and it held the idle....any ideas? happened once before at at a toll plaza too

oh yea....its an 03 2.2 eco in a sunfire with 48k on the clock, had plenty of gas

thanks guys

I've had it happen from stoplights and mostly mid summer. Ever since the recall reflash I've only had it happen once.

Best advice, pull over, turn the car off. count to ten, start it back up, should solve the problem.

but do u know whats causing the problem.....i cant just count to 10 at a toll plaza....people have died for less

Count real fast......j/k

If it is only occurring when the engine is idling, you might want to try cleaning the IAC valve.
