After about 2 horus of driving I loose power. I have to floor the accelerator for it to downshift so I can get power to run smoothly again. But from the start to about 80% near flooring the accelerator I get nothing at all.

I also tried this on PARK and NEUTRAL = same thing. One more thing I noticed is that when I turn off the engine and STRAT It again the engine just turns and turns. I will start again aafter about 3 tries.

I suspect it's something related to the INJECTION pump not giving enough fuel when it's running hot.

I rest the car with HOOD open for 5-10 minutes and everything back to normal again.

Checked all the linkages to Inj. pump, transmission, accelerator cable and they were all OK.

I will have the tank drained and replace PRE and MAIN FUEL FILTER just to be sure - BUT IF my filters are dirty is it possible that they de-clog when engine is not that HOT?


Will appreciate feedbacks and tips!


Thanks!
