Question Intermittant Miss or Loss of power

My 2001 TL has started to lose power while driving. All electrical remains on but it is like car is flooding out but then takes off a couple of seconds later. It never dies out compleatly or continues to miss. Runs great otherwise. May repeat couple times in an hour or maybe not at all for a few days the returns.


Any ideas??

you may need new plugs. i would try seafoaming my car first, then changing air filter, run fuel system cleaner and lastly get new plugs put in.

Its a cleaner for various parts of the car(engine,intake, etc). Do a search with the search function. A ton of info will pop up.
