Hi there all:
 This car has a FWD 2.8L Fuel Injected motor w/AC (has the belt, but I
don't use it).  I also removed the linkage for the crusie control.  The
trouble I'm having is a sparatic one and I've seen no common times it
happens.
 While driving, the motor feels like its running out of gas, but does not
stall.  Then its back to running normal.  Up hill, down hill or on the
flates makes no different.  Though it does it more at higher speeds it still
does it even at idle.
 The fuel pump, filter and had a FI cleaning done with in the last 90
months.  I've owned the car 5 years and much of that time the "check engine"
light has been on.
 Any ideas would be thankful.

Russell

Find out why your check engine lamp is on.  Your computer has information
for you.

 Thank you.  Have taken it in three times and gotten three difference
results and at $40 for a computer check I'm hopping for something else to
try.
 Something to add here..  After filling the car up with gasoline, it seemed
to run just fine.  Think there might be an air leak in the too or from line
that might cause this trouble?

Thanks for you help

No.  Both the feed and return fuel lines are under pressure, meaning that
the fuel will leak out and no air will leak in.

Try to find some parts place that will read the codes for free if you can.
Just find out what the codes are and what they mean.  That's a place to
start.

Thank you.  I'll give that a shot.
