While I am driving my car cuts off on me..WTF???

It only happens in 3rd gear though...Whether I am down shifting or going to 4th, the shit just cuts off...Luckily the car is still coasting so I can cut the shit back on and keep going but wtf is it??

I dont get it...:(

Checked the oil already...

Help plz....

Spray some tb cleaner in the tb while giving it some gas. It should be fine after that. If not spray down the maf with tb cleaner. If that still does not work, run some seafoam through it. If that still does not work, sell it to me. Though it should be fine after the first thing I said.

lol...thx...

I thought maybe it had to do with me not letting the car warm up but it does it regardless....I just dont want it to happen when i am taking a sharp ass turn and I cant get the damn wheel to move...

you wouldn't have to take 75 from our building(if you still work at carmax). you can just take bells ferry to his house.
