I was driving yesterday to Sudbury and just as I passed Verner my car lost power.
At first I thought it was bogging issues, but when the car bogs, i can still keep over 100km/h.
Basically I was driving bout 110 and the car's power surges lower and lower. There were no warning lights or anything. Once I hit 50km/h, I pulled over and opened the hood. Nothing leaking, nothing broke. Fan belt that I replaced last week was still snug and still in the right spots.
So I let it sit for 5 min, start up and it runs fine. Gave it good amounts of gas and didn't miss a beat.
So I kept driving and about 20 min later it dies out again.
My dad says its probably a fuel problem, line, pump or bad gas.
Any thoughts anyone?
