Subject:Loss of power at low revs
From:Christopher Gronski

Hi All,

My van is exhibiting a very strage power loss at low revs. The
throttle is completely unresponsive. For instance if I pull away from
a stoplight the rev's just hover somewhere around 800 but then the
engine "kicks in" and I can drive normally. The engine is not bucking,
its almost as though the throttle is not attached. Any thoughts?

Chris

P.S. Its pouring rain, my brake lights are not working and I got a
trailer wiring installed , they could be unrelated but I thought I
would mention them.
