This morning I noticed my speedo wasn't working when I started off.  So I 
occassionally glanced at the tach ensuring the needle doesn't go pass 3k rpm 
(100 kph +-) highway speed to avoid getting caught speeding. A few minutes 
later the speedo kicked in.  I made it to my destination without any other 
incident.  So a malfunctioning speedo I said to myself.

3 hrs later on my way back home, the speedo quit working again as I drove 
off a parking lot.  A few minutes later, approaching a red light, my car 
stalled QUIETLY so I quickly signalled right and drove into a parking lot.  
I was able to restart the car as if nothing had happened and drove off and I 
made it home.  The speedo worked the duration of my trip home.

Car stalling caused by the malfunctioning speedo somehow?
Malfunctioning speedo affected by outside cold temp?  It was -5 Celsius.
Water in gas?
Clogged fuel filter/injector?
Computer error codes?
Just a hiccup?

Appreciate any input from fellow listers.
merci!
