It's all good. I'm just poking fun.

Any mods?

My bet would be toward a fuel pump that is starting to go bad. How often does it happen?

No codes. No mods. He said its been happening for about a week. He's bad not to tell me about stuff. He said it runs fine at times but sputters and dies at random speeds and at idle. From what I've seen on the internet, it doesn't have a fuel filter per say but a screen on the fuel pump?

It sounds more like a sensor, but that should throw a code. Hook up a scanner and run a live scan?

I'll take it and have it scanned and go from there. Thanks for the help.

Sorry I couldn't give much more.

It could be anything from sensors, to A/F ratio, to fuel delivery.
