Recently while driving at normal highway speeds, the car will suddenly "lose" power, rpms will drop from about 3000 to 1000....lasts about 2 seconds, and resume normally. Then a couple minutes later it will do it again. This will continue until the car is parked and let set for a while. When it happens, it's feels like you reached down and turned off the ignition, except all electrical items continue. There is not any chugging, misfiring, unusual sounds.....just loss of power. The car has about 160K, excellent maintenance. It is carburated, and automatic transmission. Any suggestions as to where to start?
