Turned out to be a faulty Fuel Filter...had replaced it only a couple years ago but I suppose something messed it up somehow.

I've been driving it for about a week now and took it for a long weekend road trip and it didn't miss a beat once.

I was hoping it was something simple...especially because I was getting nothing from anybody on the forums!!!

Well, I suppose for $30 it's a good place to start when similar symptoms arise again.

Cheers!
