Rendova Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hello! Without warning after driving my car to restaurant...approximately three miles and back and parking for fifteen minutes...I got back in my car and all of a sudden I couldn't get hardly any power....even pushing to the floor...just a hesitation. After it sits a while it starts up and runs fine for a few miles then repeats the same cycle. Anyone ever have similar issue and if so what did you find that worked. Have already done fuel pressure test...changed computer, coil pack, and a few sensors...trying throttle sensor now...? Back pressure check on catalytic not tried due to running well in the beginning....it seems like it should be a simple fix..like something to do with sensor. Car has fresh oil and approx.!00,000 miles. Thanks! Rendova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 You should check to see if any trouble codes are stored in the ECM. Click here for instructions on how to do that. Report back here what codes you find and we might be able to help diagnose the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2seater Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Was the fuel pressure checked with a gauge? If so, what are the readings, key on-engine off and with engine running. Any possibility you just recently fueled up and the problem started? It's possible it could be a temperature related ignition breakdown. You mentioned the coil pack and computer (ECM?) but not the Ignition Control Module (ICM) below the coil pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
