Q: car stallling....rough start

asked by on March 02, 2017

Driving this morning and car suddenly loses power, and stalls. Tried accelerating and car would barely move. Then decided to turn the car off, and restart. It started but almost sounded like it wouldnt. Got to my destination and car stalled out/stopped again. New battery installed a month ago. Any thoughts on what the issue might be?

Thank you,

My car has an automatic transmission.
