| Description of the problem | Loss of power. It feels like there is simply no throttle response. It has happened after turning into traffic from a stop sign or red light at low speed (< 40 mph) and merging onto a highway at high speed (> 60 mph). Pressing the gas pedal just results in continued vehicle deceleration. The engine is still running but no response to throttle. After several cycles of backing off throttle and pressing, the engine will just suddenly start responding. Sometimes the hill assist and abs lights on the dash will illuminate, sometimes not. There is never been a check engine light when it happens. It has happened several times. Scary, especially on the highway. |
