Any auto mechanics out there?

96 chry sebring convert. jx 2.5l, 155k, new eng, new trans
situation has happened 4 times in 6months, fuel tank has had 1/2 tank or more. driving along at any speed. car becomes “sluggish” increasing accelerator does not result in acceleration. car slows, depressing accel. does nothing, response is flat. eventually car comes to a stop. Engine still runs and now service engine soon light comes on. attempts to accelerate engine dont work. engine quits. will almost start, or does start but will only idle. depressing accel. causes stall. Let car sit for 15 min to overnight and starts up and is “normal” (accelerates, drives, idles etc.). I had the fuel filter changed the first time it happened. The same time and every time there after I have disconnected the fuel line at its entery to eng. compartment and collected fuel to visually look for water, dirt etc. abundent fuel when engine is cranked, fuel is free of water/dirt. Ideas?
Thanks for the replies. Gearnofear, do you mean that I can determine the code by following the key “on off” sequence and then counting the flashes, and I don’t need a code reader to determine the code? I understand that I will need someone to interpret the code once I have it, though. thanks.

Question for Mercury outboard mechanics -?

I have a 2004 Mercury 135hp Optimax Saltwater outboard (w/ Smartcraft) – it has about 100 hrs on it now and I want to get a complete tune-up & servicing done (plugs, filters, lube, whatever else it calls for) – What would the approx cost be for parts & labor for this? (my authorized Merc dealer nearby charges $64/hr labor) Just trying to get an idea before I ask my local shop because they seem to be way high on prices there. Thanks !! (ps – I have a fuel/water filter separator also in the gas line, so I am sure that canister filter needs replacing – I also heard this engine has some type of drive belt or V-belt – not sure if its time to replace or not)

Do marine repair mechanics typically NOT reconnect the fuel line prior to returning a boat?

I brought my outboard in for some minor maintenance. Upon its return I went to have a day on the water. The motor would not start. The fuel line was inserted into the motor but not reconnected. I was told this is standard practice at this location.

Not a big deal – just some wasted time etc.

Will My Mechanics Laugh At Me If I Ask Them To Install The Water4gas System On Our Truck?

I am just curious after watching some videos at http://water4gas.spruz.com
