Well this happened to me again today, so I thought I would post to see what everyone thinks.
It happened to me once before.
I am turning left at a traffic light, give it a bit of gas and a light launch to cross oncoming traffic on a yellow light.
Start driving after the turn and the engine just dies. I am now coasting and trying to start it and it just cranks over, it doesn't even sputter. I try starting it until I come to a stop.
So I have to get out and push it a ways to a residential side road on my right.
I get back in the car and it starts up no problem.
I just put gas in it too.
Hmm...
Any thoughts.
Thanks

Any codes?
Check your plugs.

Just hooked up my logger, and no codes.
Could it be the ECU, I hope not!
I put 92 in it, not too many gas stations here in Edmonton with 94 octane, there is one Mohawk gas station I know of that has it.
Plugs look fine.
