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??!

When I bought my car, I had a similar problem. It turned out that one of the plastic hoses from the charcoal canister in the front, was connected to the plenum instead of the air cleaner. When you would decelerate on the off ramp, it would pull a vacuum on the tank, and the engine would not get fuel.
