So, noticed on the highway, steady throttle application, that it will surge a bit at certain spots.. Thought it was air in the line...
Now, I notice a distinct lack of power....
and... now... going up a small hill, I can maintain power at low RPM, but as pedal goes farther to the floor, I lose power, and the engine sound gets... more harsh..almost like the rattle you get when it's cold....
Fuel filter has less than 3k miles on... probably less than 1k, really....
Thoughts?
Sometimes it runs great, other times it's slow. No rhyme or reason, hot or cold, rainy or sunny, running for 5 minutes or 5 hours, etc.
EDIT: 86 M1031, currently 27k miles, put about 5k on it in a little over a year.... filter was changed a couple months ago and has little use.... all other maintenance is up to date. I use TCW3 on most of my fuel fillups
