I don't know what you mean by shutdown, but a clogged fuel filter
can have a symptom that could fit your description. This would
assume that "shutdown" means sputters and loses power but does
continue to run.

If shutdown means the engine dies, then this would not apply.

Germen cruise control! Drive 39MPH! Would be great to know what kind of car
and year it is!

If you have an automatic trans and drive with your left foot
on the brake, could you hitting the brake and accelerator at
the same time?
