Subject: Re: Intermittent power loss after a service...


I've experienced the same thing on my '94V6. It hadn't occurred for six months, then recently it did it again. Now it hasn't done it for a week. The engine just kind of staggers to the stalling point, then comes back to life. I put a posting on this problem, but got no response. Hope someone can shed some light . I don't know whether your engine and mine will have any similarities though.
