Description of the problem	On sept 12, 2013 i was driving on i-95 going approximately 75mph when out of nowhere the vehicle felt like it sputtered and then just quit running or stalled out. To my surprise (and thank god) the steering did not lock up when the engine stalled up. I was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road without getting killed. I turned the engine off and waited 5 minutes and then was able to start driving again. Then it stalled out again. I drove it like this for the next 10 miles to get home. I stopped at a discount auto parts store and they put a computer on it. He said it was reading the throttle body was stuck open. After the store clerk and i googled this code the most we could find for a solution was to clean the throttle body. So he brought me the right tb cleaner to buy. I went home and took the tb apart (it was gunked up pretty good), cleaned it to a shiny, brand new looking throttle body and replaced it at which time i also took this opportunity to perform an oil change, top off my fluids, replace the air filter with a new one and put coolant in my radiator. I reconnected the battery cables, started the car and went for a ride. I was amazed. It purred like a kitten. No dash "check engine light" on! I thought i had fixed my problem. Not so. Here i am now, the 24th of sept and guess what!! Yep had to call in to work because my car only makes it 10 ft down the road and stalls out. No warning. I looked in at the throttle body and its still sparking clean, no gunk. What's going on. This am when it happened i had my 3 year old and 4 year old in the car with me and we [xxxx] near got killed from the semi truck behind us. I drove my children to school with the car like this and now am trying to find a new throttle body to put in. I will keep the old one in my possession in case this petition actually gets the government moving and its needed for inspection. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
