My Chevrolet Utility 1.4 bakkie loses power when starting up and driving, especially on inclines. Sometimes it rectifies when I fill up with fuel. This is no longer happening.

There is very little power now. This has been going on for 6 months now. Diagnostic test done, picks up nothing.

It is possible that the issue is related to the fuel system. The fuel pump may be failing or the fuel filter may be clogged. It is also possible that the spark plugs or ignition coils are failing. It is also possible that the catalytic converter is clogged or the exhaust system is blocked. It is also possible that the mass air flow sensor is failing or the air filter is clogged. It is also possible that the throttle body is dirty or the throttle position sensor is failing

Check fuel pressure, check for exhaust restriction, check MAF sensor signal with a scan tool.

SOURCE: 2000 Chevrolet Truck S10 P/U 2WD 2.2L , loss of power

The first thing to try is a new fuel filter. There is sock filter within the fuel tank also, but it fails less often. If the engine has lots of miles, it may need a new O2 sensor although the codes should point that out if it were a problem.

Losing power when its below half full of gas

Pressure test the fuel system to measure the pressure regulator to ensure correct fuel pressure under all driving conditions. Do the test with a less than 1/2 full tank of fuel.
