[s-cars] stalling

[stefan13 at att.net]

Ignition switch is 6 months old- OEM dealer part.  Check engine light is not on.  For those of you with lawnmowers, the car acts much in the way a mower will die when it runs out of gas. (Yes, the car has 1/2 tank).  Could I have gotten bad gas?

Thanks for all your input
