Intermittent power loss

[foress_89]

So I have this problem for a while now. I like to think that it's worse in damp & cold condition but tbh it's sometime dry and the engine at it's warmest and it still does it.

In idle & neutral it will cut out seamingly on all cylinders and drop to almost 0 rpm but never stalls.

When in gear and driving sometime complete power loss in any gear

Basically I press the clutch and rev it up a bit in neutral and am able to get away with it.

I replaced cap rotor wires and spark plugs.

Thanks for any advice!

Sudden dropouts are frequently the CPS sensor. Stranded me in Big Bend once and now I carry a spare.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Has anyone had this issue without it causing a code?

Yes, quite frequently a bad crank sensor will not set a code. If it was just at idle, I would also suspect the Idle Air Controller (IAC).

Hi all, just an update, I replaced the CKP Sensor with a new one, and it totally fixed my issue! Thanks for the help!

Great! Now get yourself a spare.
