Consumer Description

MY CAR STALLS ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE IN THE MORNING, OR AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT. IT RUNS ON REDUCED POWER JERKING FOR A FEW MILES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT FLICKERING ON AND OFF AT TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO USE ONLY SHELL GASOLINE, NEVER LET THE TANK BE LESS THAN A QUARTER TANK, BUT THAT DID NOT IMPROVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
