Pulled out into traffic and my car lost all acceleration and began to shudder when i got it to the shoulder. Turned it off, and back on: no issue. Less than 40 yards down the road it did it again. Took it to auto zone, the only code that came up was that my "fuel door stuck open". Which is impossible, because it came with a "racing cap" i.e no twist-off cap. Drove fine for two months, then came back something awful…
