exactly same thing was happening with my car. at almost exactly 4k it would boglike i took my foot off the gas. and a few times i would start it up and when i would come to a stop soon after i started driving it would stall out.

RE: car died...
i didnt get around to fixing it yet. it did it a couple times and then shortly afterwards i spun a bearing. i dont think they were related though because i also had a tick in my engine and was told it was nothing to worry about when i took it to a performance shop and asked about it but im pretty sure that what the tick was is now the spun bearing.

RE: car died...
maybe they could be related then like the computer sensing something wrong and shutting it down or something?? i dont know. i know there are a lot of people who have had problems with a tick in the front of their engine and it was the timing tensioner but my tick was coming from the back of the engine and the knock is deffinately coming from the lower rear end. where is your tick coming from? im going to be pulling the engine this weekend and will be able to find out exactly what it is but it really sounds like a spun bearing.
