loss of power
 
Im new here so not sure if this is mentioned somewhere else but im having an issue with my 2002. The dam thing pulls hard from a stop but loses power at about 2500 and picks it back up around 3500 rpm. has anyone had this problem or heard about it? i wouldnt really care about it, but pulling out into a busy street is very difficult when your losing power in every gear.:mad:

sounds similar to my 96. it does this at certain oil levels. mine burns oil a little since it seems to have worn piston rings. sometimes this causes mine to lose power. b/c of this i tend to run it with a little less oil ( but still above the min fill line on the dipstick)

my clutch is also pretty worn out.

if your car is an automatic it could need fluid or a fluid change and a new transmission filter
