I had the engine thing happen again twice yesterday as well. I was telling a friend about it and he suggested the ignition switch because he though the sunfire was also involved in the cobalt recall. Well it's not involved in the recall but I think that the ignition switch would make sense as to what the car is doing.

I watched it gauges as I rolled up the a red light yesterday and it doesn't slowly drop or bog down it just hits idle and then drops to 0 and the engine cuts off. My wheels have been straight whenever it happens so that's not an issue either.
