For some reason, anytime I see a thread with HELP!!! all in caps and like 5 exclamation marks it annoys me.

Any time something like that happens (ie - power loss, etc), do a compression test.

And since I know at some point, someone will ask "How do I do this... compression test...?"....

It's going into Limp Mode..check your Omp...Oh if the car is Dying Going around corners,Check the fuel sock in the gas tank.It may be clogged.It is easy to get to.Just pull the Carpet on the Floor of the Rear Hatch and Voila.There's a Plate there,you remove that,and you can get to the top of the tank.
