It happened to me for the first time last Monday.
I have a bad habit of changing my fuel filter and just closing it up and that’s it.

Wake up the next morning and take off. Well it was shaking like a leaf at every light.
Couple of kid drop offs and it was gone. Has not happened since.

This has happened to me and when taken to dealership for them to look at they came back with just carbon build-up on the injectors. Just add some addative and run it like you stole it and not baby it.
