Penske will give you a deal if you haggle with them.Good time to get a rental for cheap money to haul her home.BTW after it shuts down how long before it restarts and does it run rough after the restart.My buddy has an 02 F150 that has had running problems.There was so much rust in his filter from his tank rusting it kept fouling plugs and injectors.Alot of the newer fuel pumps I've been having problems with are external and will idle alright and take off just the same but under a load they can't keep up allowing pockets of air in the system only under a load like highway driving.Clean your battery terminals and ground real good also.I've seen loose grounds cause serious problems and makes diagnosing problems like finding a needle in a haystack.My girl had a car that would stall at random times for no reason.I went through the car with a fine tooth comb only to find the a number of bad grounds.The longer I left the key on the ground @ the battery would get hot and start to smoke.I found all the grounds wire brushed them and the surfaces they ground to and never had the problem again.I've also had random shutting down problems with remote starts.Sometimes the smallest amount of info can help your mechanic diagnose it that much easier.Like if it's hard starting after stalling.Stalls more if it's wet is another thing pointing me to something electrical.Keep us posted on any progress and good luck.
