Thanks to all who replied.
You saved me from changing out a fuel pump!!!

I drove back to San Francisco with no problem.
I did add a full bottle of Red Line total fuel treatment before the trip and the car performed well.
So, perhaps my problem stemmed from a momentary debri or bad fuel

Thanks again !!!
