[20v] '91 CQ erratic power loss

[Christopher Gharibo]

Ok, I will check the codes. 

I just wanted to clarify that when the car "loses power" it's only by about 30%. 

Thank you.

Knock sensors. The symptoms on my car: at constant highway speed the engine will suddenly hesitate for 30 sec to 60 sec then regains full power for a couple of minutes then again, the cycle repeats itself. In city driving at low rev when trying to switch into 4th gear at about 60 Km/h the engine will hesitate and almost stalled, had to downshift or depress the clutch. Check the codes.

My '91 CQ drives great with one caveat.

Most of the time, at full throttle, the car suddenly loses power and regains it all in a matter of seconds. It's as if the ECU is changing to a different program or the AC compressor is kicking in and out, although AC is off.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.
