Re: Any codes????
KEVOZOS8, looks like random and cyl3 misfires:
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0300 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16687 - Cylinder 3: Misfire Detected P0303 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Had the same problem few weeks ago and more. Solved the misfire problem by replacing the spark plug connectors (check to see that the boots are not cracked, mine were).
I also had a stalling problem, so I changed out the ignition control module, later I found out it was the MAF and I'm back to spec now.
As a short term fix or diagnostic, you may try putting dielectric coating on the connector if its not visibly cracked, but it is best to order a new one to make sure.
