Mine was acting weird at one time. Seemed like it had no power until about 4k then took off. Not always like that though. Sometimes was normal for a while. Found out that my O2 sensors were going out. I changed them and the problem is gone. Maybe something to check out.

For awhile it did not throw codes. When it did I got it checked. The codes indicated all 4 O2's were bad. I replaced them all and it was fine. That was about 4 months ago. Now it is acting weird again. The check engine light is on again as well. Gonna get it checked out, again. Any one have any suggestions or experiences like this? Another thing, it idles very low and sometimes shuts down at idle. I am prepared for engine replacement but I am hoping that it is something simple.
