Sometimes I am driving uphill, sometimes on straight, flat road. I was almost rear-ended yesterday because for now reason, and no warning my car stops dead in it's tracks. All the engine fail lights come on, as if you were just starting the car in the morning. The car hasn't been driven for an extended period of time, meaning it's not overheated when this occurs. I have had a fuel injector replaced. Temperature sensors replaced more then once. …”
