Help!After two hours of driving south to LAX with no problems, filled up with 89 Chevron Octane, picked up friend at airport, and back on the road. Not 5 minutes out of parkade, the engine stalled and restarted OK, but the problems got worse. Noticed that there was a serious loss of power, ie, step on gas, no response. Went through a 1/4 tank of gas in 20 miles. Stopping at a gas station, exhaust smelled like engine was running rich. Took small vacuum line off of pressure regulator and engine responded with increased RPM, sputtered and stalled. Took a chance and drove on, stopped by the California Hiway Patrol for driving too slow on Hwy, never exceeded 40 mph despite giving it gas. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Gregg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
