Angry '03 Coupe AT - Starts strong then dies!!!

So I am driving out of the mall and take a left turn moderately agressive. Enough for the slip light to come on. Then the whole car bogs down like I am in the manual mode. I check the shifter and its in drive. I approach traffic at a red light and stop. Light turns green and I throttle it and it dies. Now I am sitting here in my G blocking traffic and not very happy. I push it onto the side of the road and like I said it starts strong but then comes to idle and then drops out. Help!!

are you bone stock? If it's just a factory problem take it to the car dealer.

Smile '03 Coupe AT - At the dealers

I had it towed to the dealer and go figure, there is a recall on the fuel lines so they gave me a call and said they couldn't get to it today and they gave me an '07 G35 loaner. Its a sedan, but still. I will post whatever I find out about this failure from them.
Yes, it is a bone stock G35 coupe, with all the options. Where can I find out about this recall?

I dont know anything about stock cars, but the dealer is your best bet right now since your bone stock.

Well this is what they said...

Apparently the dealer believes that a faulty air flow meter has caused this malfunction. I don't know enough about this car yet to argue with them. So I will see Monday when I pick it up. How easy is changing the belts on this car? They want 895.00 for the 60K maintenance and I am not sure I want to part with my money that easily.
