Last night, My wife was driving to store, worked fine. She came out, started up fine. Took off and exited parking lot. Power dropped right off, and brake warning light along with ABS light popped on. She limped it to another parking lot and I went to rescue her. I drove it home from there, about 2 miles. Started fine, ran fine. I took off up the road, and a block later it happened. Lasted for about 100 yrds, then took off normal, the lights went off, went a block or so, and the lights came back on, and the power dropped right off again, Did this mode about a block again, then took off. Couldn't get above 35 mph, and the sequence started again and dropped off to about 20 mph. Then it kicks back in and runs great for a block or so. Did it about 5 times on the way home. Even did it in the driveway when stopped. Fuel pressure is fine, replaced filter. No other warning lights come on. It will do it right now before I get to the end of the block. Goes from one extreme to the other, instantaniously, nothing 1/2 way in between or anything. I have fixed cars for a living the last 40 years, so I know what I'm doing, but this has me baffled. Exhaust flow seems fine (converter not plugged). Did the basics, checked for loose or corroded connections, scanned the computer for pending codes, nothing. Check engine light NOT on. Any ideas?
It
can be issue with master cylinder or the problem is there is still some air
there in the system,that has to be bleed.Or else the parts replaced are not
aligned properly/.I suggest everything back.
There
are few help links mentioned below to troubleshoot the issue.
