Carburetor ice? Try carb heat. If it recovers within a minute or two, that was it. Note: most AC have no indicator for carb heat - it's just a keyboard toggle and you have to keep track of whether it is on or off by how many times you've pressed the "H" key.

John's bang on the money with that one. I had the same problem in last years ATWC, I think the keyboard command is Shift+H, after a few mins it will spring back to life

According to the Top-Line Menu data in FS9 and the MH FSX Keyboard Map, it's an un-shifted H. I don't know why the developers don't include a knob like the real AC have.
