Starts & idles great. Within 30 feet of taking off it starts to hesitate badly then losses all power. It feels as if the engine had died. As you push down on the gas it goes slower and slower, when gas is almost to floor suddlenly "snaps " out of it as if never happened?

No codes, can't replicate problem at will but will happen
once or twice a week.
Once replicated with fuel pressure gage on pressure dropped from45 to 30 momentarily.

Only happens when engine is cold, runs and idles great after any incident.

Does it not start up after? Or does it act up for awhile? If so, check for weak spark, this things are common for failing distributors/ignition coils.

Hi,

Runs flawlessly after no stumbles or hestitation.

It is as if you flicked on and off a switch. Never stalls so you

don't have to restart.
