Today I was driving here and there doing some errands, from Manhattan to Queens from Queens to Brooklyn and then headed to Jones Beach in Long Island. Well in the city I did about 20 miles, and as i hit traffic somewhere half way on the way to jones beach the car just shut off. This happened when I was going about 5 mph bumper to bumper traffic. I quickly set the transmission to park and restart the engine and im on my way again. 5 minutes later traffic again.. same thing happens. So I proceed to do the same thing again. But this time as im shifting to D engine dies twice. On my third try I got it. So I was like ***. And i keep driving.. I stop at a toll both for the beach. And it happens AGAIN. I restart and keep going. When I parked at the beach parking lot I begin looking for odd noises or any suspucious looks on the engine it self. Nothing. But I decided to try something I Shifted into drive and i noticed that the Rev limited dropped from 600-500 to low 300-200-100 to almost 0 RPM. It seemed like the engine had trouble staying on. This didnt seem to happen in park mode. On my way back 3 hours later the problem disappeared. But after driving for an hour i noticed that the engine got load, almost a roar, and seemed a bit underpowered in the 1st -2nd gear. Do you guys have Any idea what this might be? Is it my transmission?
