       It's like someone turns the ignition OFF! complete death! I
  haven't had it running on the open road at highway speeds. I have
  been running it about a constant 45 MPH. ?!???! ...It may recover
  on it's own at idle speed, but I havn't given it a chance. I will
  try that nexted! I was thinking.. I fueled up at a different
  place this week.////?
