will fire on all cylinders until problem shows up. doesn't make any difference whether in city or on highway. the more you call for power, the more the engine buckles and jumps like you are turning the key off and on quickly(that kind of hard jerking)
it will idle as smooth as can be if you are at a stop. can take off like an old man at stop light.
has no trouble starting engine after it is turned off.
if on highway and going uphill, at the worse symptoms so far, have started at bottom of hill at 75 and finished at the top of hill at 49 mph.
when symptoms appear, have trouble holding highway speed and slowly decreases in speed.
symptoms started to appear over 700 miles ago and are getting worse.
if you stop and kill the engine and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. problem will go away. symptom will show up after about 10 to 15 minutes on highway again.
symptom - starts loosing power slowly, but symptom gets worse the more you drive. haven't had a complete failure where engine stalls and quits running yet.
haven't put it on machine to get codes yet either.
just curious - i know on the 5.0, they had problems with the film on the distributor causing problems about cutting off on the ignition. since this does not have a distributor, i was thinking that i might have missed something that is routine that breaks down in the electrical system. a certain module or something.
thanks for any help or shedding any light on where to take it.
