Should I stay or Should I go

Do you know the song…132,000 miles my trusty steed is ill…never had a problem until now…no warning it just decellerates,

once completely stopped, restarts, no warning lights, the day before I put it in neutral acclerated, and it evened out. It’s 8 years old, I want it to make it to 200,000 . Or should I shoot it and eat it?

Are we being a bit dramatic? Your car has a problem, but not necessarily a fatal disease.

Has your trusty steed had regular maintenance? Air filter changed when?, spark plugs changed when? fuel filter changed when? etc. You are not getting either gas or spark when the car stops. Need more info to sort out just what might be going on.
