I have a problem with my service engine malfunction and I have to stop shut car off and turn it on and it’s gone for sometimes awhile sometimes only seconds and there is as much power at all ever when driving.

This could be as simple as a throttle position sensor or more complicated like a control module. Either way we need to start with what codes are in the system and that should get us in the right direction.

If you can't get codes, then most parts stores are able to pull them free of charge.

Let me know what codes are there and we can go from there. Thanks
