Default Fuel Cuts?

I searched for a while and couldn't find any info about my problem. When I cruise along (no particular gear) it feels like my car hiccups or hits a small fuel cut? I have no lights on and no lights come on when that happens. It's really frustrating and annoying. I'd greatly appreciate your input and help.

JUST started. It doesn't do it everyday either. I never know when it's going to happen. I use 93 octane and thought I had a bad mixture of gas but 2 days ago I filled up and it did it last night. No lights come on or anything when it happens. BTW - sorry if I put this in the wrong forum section.

I think I found the problem. My rear tire reads -- and 51. Could it be a problem with vdc?

did you check the actual tire pressure, or are you just relying on the sensor?

Just going by the sensor, tire pressure is fine though. What's up with that?
