Consumer Description

IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR FOR A WHILE (45+ MINUTES), TURN IT OFF, AND THEN START IT UP 15-45 MINUTES LATER. IT WILL START BUT THEN WITHIN THE FIRST 100 YARDS IT WILL GO SLUGGISH AND STALL. WHEN I TRY TO GIVE IT GAS THAT DOESN'T HELP. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF, PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT BACK UP. A FEW TIMES IT'S STALLED 3 TIMES IN A ROW. ONCE IT GETS GOING GOOD IT'S FINE. IT'S ALWAYS FINE IF IT'S BEEN OFF FOR A WHILE (FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR STARTING AFTER WORK). EVENTUALLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO A SHOP, A GUY DIAGNOSED IT, CHANGED OUT A SENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP. IT DIDN'T HELP.
