i've looked through the brickboard posts and haven't seen one that resembles my current problem.. Every once in a while, like once a week my 240 just starts losing power big time, slows down to like 20mph and just drives this way until i can get off the road somewhere and shut her down. I wait a few minutes like 5 or so and she starts up like nothings wrong. I don't know what causes this but i know there are some very smart brickboarders out there that may have gone through something similar to this. Please, any help at all is always much appreciated.
The car drives like its blown a head gasket or the exhaust has come apart,but then after waiting a few minutes, the problem goes away!!!?? thanks for your help.
