Engine Stall
A couple of times recently on the way to work, most recently this morning, while sitting at a stop light, my engine suddenly runs rough and wants to stall. If I put it in neutral for a moment, it evens out and runs ok.
Any thoughts or ideas guys. Thanks

John,
Sounds like you have picked up some bad gas. Throw a container of Chevron Techron into the gas tank. It cleans the injectors and gets rid of any water/condensation that might have formed in the tank and has now made it up to the injectors.

Do you have the same problem if you decide to blow off work and go fishing instead?

My daughter's GT had the same problem - ended up being a bad plug wire - and I had just put them in about 1,000 miles before. [:I]
I try the gas treatment (can't hurt) and if you haven't done wires in a while, do them. You getting any error codes?

Change plug wires and plugs, use a fuel injector cleaner too. It will drive 10000000 times better. I had the exact problem and am 99% positive thats what your problem is.

Actually turned over 40,000 on trip to work this morning. New plugs and wires 3000 miles back. Gonna go the injector cleaner route and see what happens. Thanks everyone.
