Randomly, when I try to accelerate the engine will bog down in every gear and drop about 5 mph before picking back up again just to bog down at the same speed it did before. For example 1st gear will bog down around 10 mph, 2nd gear at 20 mph, 3rd at 30 mph and so on so that the maximum speed I can reach is 50 mph in 5th gear. This will continue for a day or two and then suddenly correct itself and the car will run fine for about 6 months before it happens again. I took it to the mechanic shop I typically go to and when they hooked it up to do diagnostics they said the only codes shown had to deal with the computer whereas the problem itself seems to be something in the exhaust system such as a faulty cat. Converter or fuel filter.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so have you been able to fix it and how?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated since I really like this car and this is the only problem I've had with it.
Thank you,
Caleb
