Sometimes we'll be slowing for the light at the GA 400, GA 369 intersection (which should be an overpass) and when I accelerate the car will just die. As for my wife, she doesn't even have to be slowing, just driving along and all of a sudden, she has no power. Put it in neutral or, if stopped, park and it fires right back up. Anyone have this?

 

The '97 - '99 model years were subject to a throttle body recall / ECM reflash depending on VIN. Symptoms were engine shut down while driving and easy restart on the side of the road. Many got new TBs but the recall has now expired. Your solution is probably going to be a rebuilt TB.

Here is the Technical Service Bulletin on the subject.

 

Could also be an intermitant fuel pump problem.

Lots of things to test. Like fuel rail pressure among others.

 

Your problem has many causes fuel, throttle body and brake switch. Do you have any codes or do you get a failsafe or restricted performance? Was your cruise control on?

 

Also check to see if the throttle plate is dirty. That can cause slow speed stalling.

 

Body, is the prime suspect.
