Question
my car loses power going uphill even with the gas pedal all the way to the floor.
Does the rpm stay the same or go higher?It may be a slipping transmission.Im assuming it is automatic.If this is so,check the atf level.Loss of engine power can be many things such as egr fault,vacuum leaks,poor compression worn engine/valve train components,blocked fuel filter.What mileage is on this car?
