Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 21 years of experience in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. This sounds like you may have picked up water in your fuel tank. Since you have tried the fuel cleaner already, try putting in a octane fuel enhancer also. If this continuous check the spark plugs and fuel filter. Also, see if you can get your vehicle scanned so you can make sure that there aren't any troubles codes in the computers memory.

Oh and one last thing the engine light is not on, and it's never stalled
Automotive Expert
OK, even though the light is not on, it might still have something stored in its memory.

How do.i find that out?
Automotive Expert
If you have an Auto Zone near you, they scan vehicles for free.

Okay, thanks
Automotive Expert
You are very welcome.
