Car dies randomly When driving around in 6th at 65mph my car "hiccuped" 2x and I put it in 5th and it was ok. I put in 6th a mile later and it was fine, drove another 30 minutes and then it did it again and I took my foot off the gas and pushed the clutch in and she died. Cranked right back up (after checking all fluid levels manually). I pulled a U to come back home as I wanted to get her home and when accelerating it cut out on me a couple times and was then okay. I did not have another problem all the way home. I had NO SES light or anything like that and oddly it seemed to do it on a hill or just after going over one or when accelerating. It never did it when idling in traffic or accelerating/cruising on flat area. I just put gas in about 20 miles ago the other day. This is the first time I drove it today (well, 2nd, but the first time wasnt but a 3 mile rnd trip.)
Anyone have ANY idea whats up?
PS. when I say "hiccup" I mean lost ALL power for about 1/2-1 second and then came back like nothing was wrong. Kinda "jerked" the car when it did it.
I posted this in the "general" section, but I am hoping maybe someone who lives in this area might see it and have something to say? PS. I already changed the TPS, no difference.

my truck used to do that. the first time it really had me bent. I found the intake tube was coming off after the maf. didn't register air flow correctly so the maf didn't supply much fuel.
what did you check/find?
