Afternoon Eveyone,
On the way home from the airport the other night I had a problem with my 1998 Au1 wagon. I just pulled on to the free way travelling around 90km/h and all of a sudden I lost all power. The ignition was on but nothing happened when I pressed the accelerator. Speed droped to about 60km/h and power kicked back in for a second and then I lost it again. Pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned off the ignition. Waited 5 mins and turned the car back on and went to drive away and it did it again. Called for a tow back to town. Pulled it off the back of the tow truck and started it up and took it for a spin twice around the block and no issues. I have driven it about 6 kms since and had no issue. What could have been the problem I was experiencing on the freeway? I was under the assumption it may have something to do with either the fuel pump or crap stuck in the fuel filter. As the car did not rev when putting my foot down, I think its safe to say it's not the tranny. What do you reckon? |
