I thinking I have an issue, b/c when I accelerate, uphill, down or anywhere inbetween, I have been noticing a pause. It seems that I am losing some power, enough that when I was making a left turn on an uphill the other day, my normal little push on the pedal did almost nothing and I have to mash on the pedal. So before going to the stealership for this problem, what are your expert opinions? Thanks!!! |

at least pop the hood and look for loose vacuum hoses. I've got one that works itself off quite a bit on dirt roads. |

Replace your spark plugs Replace your fuel filter (I need to do this also) Do a dose of Seafoam (gas, oil and engine) |

I had a similar problem. Turned out that one of my spark plugs had cracked and wasn't firing at all. |
