Knock on wood, it's only doing it then, hasn't happened any other time (so far).

When the problem first showed up, it was when I turned my car on.
But then, it would ONLY happen after I'd been driving for maybe 20-30 minutes. I could start it up and it would be ok, then I'd drive around town, and suddenly, lose power. It would chug oddly, like it was only running on 2 or 3 cylinders. Then it would sometimes throw a CEL (check engine light).. and on occasion the traction control light would come on, so would the EPC light. After I shut it off, let it set, then turn it on, it would be fine for another 15-20 minutes.
