I owned this car for about a year and a half. It had very low mileage at the time, even thought it was a 12 year old car. (previously owned by a 60 year old man that drove it 2 miles a day to and from his office). While driving it would suddenly start to sputter, jerk, hiccup, lurch etc. If I came to a light it would continue and then stall. I'd have to put it in neutral and rev the engine to get it to keep from dying out. I tried fuel injector cleaner which would fix it for a month or so, then it would start up again. I took it to the shop a couple times, but of course it would never happen when they looked at it, and they'd tell me there was nothing I could do. When I mentioned the fuel injector cleaner would clear it up for a few weeks (hoping that would give them a hint of what to look into), they suggested I continue doing that. :-(
