Tammy, Typically these driving conditions will have a tendency to set a check engine light, especially in a serious drivability concern. In the case you have a check engine light set, you can visit your local auto parts store for a free reading and reset. To address the choke out in a drive cycle this behavior can be cause by many different types of faults. Such action seems to act like an Idle Air Control Valve, or an EGR valve.
