Sounds like it might be the alternator. Had a similiar thing happen to my winter beater before it got totaled. [:@]

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.

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.

Fuel filter...its quick easy and inexpensive. If it's clogged it will do exactly what you're describing

fuel pump? fuel filter? Bad tank of gas? Fuel shut off switch?

Any CEL's?
