During my recent travels to Texas, California, and Route 66 Rallye I noticed a bit of a hiccup while driving - the engine has a drop in power but immediately is back to full power. I noticed the same thing on my trip to Wisconsin this past Thursday. However on Saturday during a rather spirited drive in SW Wisconsin, the engine stopped and after pressing harder on the accelerator pedal with no results, I drifted to the side of the road. On the second try at restarting, the engine fired up and I was able to drive off and had no further issues (ok, I did a 180 degree spin at one hairpin curve). Anyway, I'm driving back to STL on Sunday and after driving 300 miles all of a sudden I have no power on Interstate 55. So after hitting the accelerator pedal again with no results I start drifting over to the right lane and get ready to stop on the shoulder of the highway...but after drifting for 5 seconds or so, the car restarted and had no further problems for the remaining 130 miles home. My question is, does anyone know what the problem is, I'd like to fix it before it fails completely!! Thanks

A couple of slow-downs, then a complete lack of power. Couldn't restart it, had it towed to the shop, whereby it immediately fired right up. Problem was traced to a loose connection on the fuel pump in the front trunk. |
