mysterious engine shut off
OK, this is the second time that the 202 has mysteriously shut off while driving. The first time, the car was exiting a ramp off of a highway, and all of the sudden the engine shut off. The car did not start for about 30 minutes (tried to start in 5 minute intervals). 30 minutes later she cranks. After starting the car, she drove fine and everything seemed normal. I wrote the incident off as a fluke.
Fast forward to today. Again, on the highway in traffic and driving about 45 mph, she suddenly shut off. She would not start for about 10 minutes, but then she turns over. Got back on the highway and drove it about 2 miles when she shuts off again. Any ideas why she would do this? What should I check? I'm suspecting the fuel system and not the ignition since she is starting back up after waiting. Is it OK to add a fuel cleaner (STP or the likes) to the fuel system? Any help would be appreciated.
