1997 pontiac bonneville; 150,000 miles - increasingly often, my car will randomly turn off while driving. it generally doesn't happen while i am pressing and accellerating. it's happened once coming to a short stop, a few times while idling at lights, and most commonly while driving at a steady pace, pressing the gas but not increasing speed.
when it shuts off (dies) i put it in neutral and restart it without any problem what so ever. if i press the gas immediately afterwards, it makes a sound similar to something in a metal can being shaken around.
the car doesn't have any major issues, except it needs a new serpentine belt. could this be related to that?
