| While waiting to make a right on red (one car was in front of me) the engine shut off . it had been running fine for the entire morning commute up to this point. this may be related to an intermittent situation i have had for 6 mos. over the course of 6 mos. there have been four instances where the car stuttered for a second (check engine came on for 2 sec). took the car to a nearby cadillac dealer for service but they could not pin point the problem nor reproduce it. *tr | |||
