(Looking at a couple of posts here this morning tells me a few us were not having the best of days yesterday...)
While cruising around out in the country yesterday late afternoon to blow off a bit of steam, I suddenly was getting some intermittent, but severe loss of power. It first occurred at ~65 mph, at a steady cruising speed. Power loss was almost total, accompanied by a low volume 'boggy' sound. Any additional throttle was unresponsive. It was severe enough that I needed to pull off into the median of the highway. The engine never cut out completely. When it continued, I came to a complete stop and check under the hood for any obvious issues and all looked well. After a minute, throttle response was fine and I pulled back onto the road. A minute later, the same thing happened. This occurred several times over the course of the evening, at various speeds, at various intervals of 2-3 minutes apart, to 15-20 minutes apart.
I am at a loss. My only thoughts are a bad batch of gas (Yeah...BP!) or a partially clogged fuel filter.
Anyone?
