Have owned vehicle for almost 20 years and this problem has frustrated me for almost half of them. the car will lose power and eventually cut off. Mostly when its hot outside and I live in Florida. Have around 140k miles now but has been happening for years. Never has had a code and replaced the fuel pump twice, crank censor three times, if I don't use the ac seems to not happen as often. But once again I live in Florida. Watched your video and going to replace the cam sensor. Will let you know if this is a good repair record heat here in February. Thanks , capntony.

Well, rather than gas, that's a new enough car that an OBD scanner with a good mechanic can analyze what's going wrong by road. Testing it when it acts up, recording the data and analyzing it back. It could be the censor. It could be lots of things could even be clogged up fuel injectors. You have to analyze the data to see what's off kilter to figure it out. And no one knows things. It could even be the automatic transmission starting to go out
