Granada Loss of Power - jms
Hi All

My dad has a 1994 L reg Granada Auto. Recently when on a long run at motorway speeds, it starts out fine, but, after a while it looses its power. No one can find anything wrong at the time and after a while, it starts and then drives ok. It seems to drive around town with no probs. I`m wondering if part of the ignition circuit is breaking down under load.
Hope someone can help.

Thanks
jms

Sounds like a fuel starvation problem.
When was the last time the fuel and air filter was changed?
When it happens next time, remove the fuel filler cap and see if you get an rush of air into the tank. If you do, then the tank venting system is blocked.
