SOURCE: looses power when i get

first try replacing the fuel filter.when they are restricted with contamination you loose power and top end suffers.The filter should be replaced every 2 years on light travel,but if you do high mileage,replace every 12mnths.
Of course if the vehicle is loosing power but the revs are still climbing,you may have a low fluid level in your auto transmission or a fault with it.check the level with the engine running while in park.Hope this helps,or get back to me with your findings.

You may have gotten bad gas. The tanks have sediment and water and whatever in the bottom at the service stations, if the gas was being dumped in the tanks during your fillup or shortly before, water may have been pumped into your gas tank. You cannot compress water in your engine as it will not burn, once the water clears your engine you should be fine with no permanent problems, change gas stations immediatly and maybe use a gas dryer additive to help remove any water that may still be in the tank.
