Car sputters and dies under load

So I give my g/f my car to take to the car wash brings it back says it ran fine I go and drive it and it dies.

The car starts fine and seems idle fine but when I put it in gear and start driving it begins to sputter and shut off. I think it could be the fuel filter but it does not have that many miles on it. Any ideas?

Re: Car sputters and dies under load

Well my car is fixed it turned out that injector 3, 4, 5 were bad. That was causing my car to act as if it was vacuum related. My car was running on 3 cylinders basically. That was also the cause of my code 35. Now my car runs great after I replaced the injectors.
