The following has happened a few times since I bought the car (1 month ago):

Car starts fine and runs good for a few minutes (sometimes 5-10 mins.) Then, all of a sudden, will start bucking, have no power, tack drops to zero, check engine light comes on. I turn the car off, let it sit a couple minutes, it takes a few turns to start, then runs perfect. I took it to a mechanic the first time it happened and he checked the codes and came up with nothing. He said it might be moisture getting in to a connection or sensor. Car does sit outside, unfortunately. Any info would be helpful.

One more thing. I have a really bad creaking/grinding noise when i turn the steering wheel to the left, very little when turned to the right. Sounds like then noise is coming from the front left, but cannot pinpoint it. Don't notice it on the highway, just at a stop or driving slowly. Steering is not stiff at all.
