Maybe bad gas?
Yeah, I think the '04s already have the stall flash. The symptoms do sound similar to what I experienced before the flash. since the flash, no problems [knock on wood].
How about your air filter, Mike? If air's leaking in past the MAF it could cause problems like you are experiencing. My K+N leaked one time when I didn't have the gasket seated properly and ran rough. I reseated the gasked and retightened the bolts and that solved the rough running.

Yea, the B*tch has been pms(ing) all damn week. I told her i didnt mean to hit the van.. I bought it some oil and cleaned her.. but she is still pissed.. If it gets out of line again, im thinking i just might have to pimp-smack her so she will act right.. :joke:
Ok.. this really sucks.. i am either going to beat me or the car senseless.. I was on the highway doing 70 and all of a sudden, the car died as i was changing lanes.. so of course i had no power steering etc.... so almost went in to a ditch [ha ha ha like on dyno day right?] so yea.. i mean wtf.. then it idled at like 200.

I would check to see if there is any concern with the wiring harness to any of the relays. (i.e. fuel pump, pcm relay) maybe go over and wiggle or make sure they are seated in the connectors properly.
If it has been in a wreck and some body work has been done. I would recheck all the grounds on the vehicle in the damaged area.
If you are concerned about fuel, take a sample and check for contamination. Change the fuel source.
Make sure there is no aftermarket modifications done that might cause this concern.
Monitor what happens when the concern is present, i.e. only on left turns, when you turn certain acc. on, like the heater etc. Check the level of fuel when present. Does it happen after a rain storm or when the car is washed.
Check for pending codes in the pcm. Fuel pressure gauge if you have one, tape that to the hood or winshield and monitor fuel pressure at time of concern.
Make sure vehicle charging system is operating correctly.
All preventative maintenance has been done correctly.
That would my starting point.
