Howdy,

So I'm coming home from a nice camping trip in the Sierra foothills
yesterday when the engine starts cutting out. The first couple times
it was very brief and I thought about adding some injector cleaner the
next time I fuel up. But then the cutouts got longer and more
frequent. I noticed that while the cutout was occurring I would seem
to loose power to my accessories, like the turn signals, and the
battery icon on the dash would light up. I would coast for a few
seconds and everything would be fine, engine starts running, turn
signals work, battery icon goes off. The last 60-80 miles of the drive
were uneventful and it's not exhibiting the same problems today. Do
these symptoms seem familiar to anyone?

Regards,

Thor Heglund
