It's hard to say if this is something more dire than this, but have your spark plugs and wires checked out.

If a cylinder is not igniting properly when you accelerate, it would definitely cause this problem.

I had a car where it would 'jump' when I was trying to accelerate past 30-40mph and switching the wires fixed it right up. Hope this helps!

My check engine comes on when in driving if i take my foot off the gas pedial and that apply acceleration again the light gose off. when the light goes on i lose power

I also have experienced this problem with my Isuzu D-Max pickup. Did the problem occur when you were having a long drive? Coz it happened to me when i was already driving for 1 hour at a regular fast speed. After that, the problem stilled continued, especially when i reach 100km per hour.

What I did to fix the problem was i had the pickup's alarms calibrated by an Isuzu authentic service center. Coz only Isuzu service centers can calibrate the alarms and i think they're the only ones who can diagnose the car's problem if the check engine alarm turns on.

After that, we found out that there was no problem with the engine. Just the "check engine" alarm's calibration.

Truck is not getting gas will not accelerate over 10 miles per

I think it may be coincidence and you have a fuel pump that has failed. Have the fuel pressure tested and replace the pump and filter as is necessary.

When the car get above 40 miles per hour ( Highway Driving ) and you accelerate the car get a very pernounced shake, only while you have your foot on the gas. It seem to only shake when you torque the...

It sounds like one or both of the drive axle inner joints are worn out. This condition will give a very pronounced vibration on acceleration only and will be worse with increased speed.

How many gallons per hour does this car lose?

hey
at the begging u should clarify how many gallon u used.
112 miles at 28 miles per gallon --> 4 gallons burned (112/28)
So that means we leaked 11 - 4 = 7 gallons

Now figure out how long the car was driving.
112 miles at 64 miles per hour --> 1.75 hours

So, leak was at a rate of 7 gallons in 1.75 hours
7/1.75 = 4 gallons per hour leaked.
