CAR SHUTS DOWN while at stop light.
So for 1 month my car has stopped at stop light, my engine just totally shuts off but all the lights are still on the dash... looks nothing weird but noticed that my car has been shutting down for no reason. I have replaced or used different gas CHEVRON and SHELL. I have used CHEVRON for the last 5 years and had never used any other gas other than shell thats if i dont have a choice.
anyways car currently not showing any engine light or codes wondering if anyone has had the same issue. car seems to be fine after it shuts down. I was curious what could it be. EDIT: YEAR 2008 No modification other than the slip on AKRA Exhaust.

Do the RPM's bounce? Try running 3 consecutive tanks of Techron gas treatment. My car did this, and it resolved my issue. (I always run top tier 93 as well)

If your RPM's bounce before it dies it might be your idle control valve. Do a search on the symptoms.

But I would imagine that the car would throw a code. I am in the process of replacing my ICV, and my car threw a few codes when the car would have issues starting. Good luck figuring it out. Let us know what you find!

But for the meantime for about a month i have gone to 6 different gas station shell and chevron and both gas will do the same however if i add a TECHRON it works until my gas is down to zero... Then fill up with new gas then it starts again.... This only happens when the car is fully warm up... Ill update my findings soon when the christmas lights comes on lol

for what it's worth, just because you're not throwing a code doesn't mean there isn't one lurking in the ECU. Would get it read asap just in case.

yes, it's the gas. I've had the same problem in one particular gas station I go to, only that gas station BP. happened to the same as my friends car, at the same gas station.

Damn! My car just died the other day while at a stop light but otherwise runs fine and this was the first occurrence. How much do ICV's cost? And how many labor hours? Just planning ahead

so mine was weird like the car was stalling like the rpm jumped up a little and then it shut off. I checked and there were no codes, went to Sunoco and filled up, no problems.
