Ugh. My CS recently sputtered and lost all power; felt as if I was running out of gas. I was able to re-start but same symptoms continued. Parked the car for a day; started and ran great for a day then all same probs reoccured. Limped to local indy where the problems were intermittent, unfortunately, but they determined the the fuel pumps + filter needed to be replaced. They did the $1400 job and it ran great....for 160 miles. Now, the sputtering/dying is back. Any thoughts here??

That's really strange. I would have guessed fuel pump when I read your initial description of the problem.

There are two fuel pumps - did you have both replaced?

Yep. Both pumps and the filter were replaced.

Any fault codes?

Welp. Apparently, the left fuel sender was hung up on the fuel line and not functioning. Gauge was not working. Bottom line: I was out of gas and didn't know it. When the fuel line was re-routed, the sensor came to life, the 'low fuel' warning fired and things are hunky dory. Car took 28 gallons of fuel.
