    Hey guys,

    Not really sure what could be causing this problem or if it could be transmission related. Basically, every once in a while when I start to accelerate from a stop (doesn't matter how hard), the car will randomly kill. It is completely unpredictable and only happens once while I am driving. Happened today on my way to work and it took 5-6 tries of turning it over for it to finally catch and keep running. All the other times, it would catch maybe once or twice, then kill. Amazingly, once it catches, car runs like there was never a problem in the first place. Also, no SES codes.
