Description of the problem	On different occasions, 08/07/03 being the latest, my car has stalled, or shown poor accelleration while driving. It has happened while driving over 65 mph, soon after starting the car and putting it into drive, and a small time period after driving it. On one occasion i exited out of a parking lot onto a busy two-way traffic road, to cross to the other side and it stalled while there was oncoming traffic. I was very reluctant that the traffic speed wasn't high, for they may not have had the time to slow down. I have taken my car in several different times to my dealer, and other car maintenance shops, and they say that they can't find the problem, and in order to fix the problem, they must duplicate it. But the problem that comes from that is, it doesn't happen on a recurring basis. It can happen hours apart to 2 months apart. It gives no warning, and it goes back to running normal as if nothing has ever happened. The first time it happened was approximately 3 months after.*ak
