| Description of the problem | I first noticed this problem about 2 years ago. I was on the highway getting ready to pass a big rig. About 2 seconds after i excelerated i noticed that i lost power to the engine and the check engine light turned on. I kept my foot on the pedal hoping to regain power to pass the big rig. I had no such luck. Shortly after i had vehicles behind me having to slow down because my car wouldn't excelerate to the desired speed. I finally made my way out of the highway to check my engine. I couldn't see a problem but the check engine light stayed on and the loss of power continued. I had to drive my car home slow. The next day i noticed that the check engine light had turned off and i was able to drive the car normal. The loss of power in that situation was scary and could have gone a lot worse. I know i am not the only one who has experienced this problem. I have seen blogs and youtube videos who describe similar experiences. Please help find a solution before someone is seriously hurt do to this problem. |
