Istairde Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I am experiencing an intermittent issue where the engine loses power, stops, and fails to restart for around ten seconds before functioning normally again. I am uncertain if the problem is related to gasoline or a blockage. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassole Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 A code scan may still be conducted to identify the errors. Any more statements would only be conjecture, which may incur significant expenses. We need codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istairde Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 When the vehicle loses power or stalls, the fuel filter indicator activates; however, it disappears as normal operation resumes. Therefore, I suspect that the fuel may be the underlying issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
