Went for a little run this morning and temps got up to point the needle was straight up and down on the oil temp gauge, first time ever that high of a reading and it is a warm day, engine sounding great and running smooth, get to the stop sign at the end of the down ramp and engine stalls! Restarting with no problem off I go and get to the next stop sign about 500 meters and engine dies again, rstarts and runs fine but will not idle! What has happened??!

So it starts up for me this morning and is running a bit rough but stays running, get to the on ramp of the Trans Canada and wow does it ever accelerate, runs very nice with good smooth power. So I'm thinking ok it was just something that happens when it is quite hot, drive about 5 KM at about 70 MPH and no burps or hiccups, just smooth with nice power, I must have burned all the carbon out of it I'm thinking, but then it dies at the stop sign, it restarts but not easily. Any engine guru's out there with thoughts or suggestions??
