This could be a lot off things. Timing could be off, catalytic converter could be plugged, faulty plug wires, or (my personal favorite), a plugged fuel filter. A good mechanic should be able to find it for you.

This sounds like a carbuerator or fuel injector problem, either dirty or needs adjusted, but could also be a number of things such as a clogged fuel filter (that is what I would look at first), a timing problem, or a spark plug wire (or fouled plug).

Ever had the timing belt replaced?
I believe it may be past time.
How many miles on your vehicle?
Loss of power is a key symptom of a broken belt.

Maybe you need a new fuel pump.

2005 Equinox bogs down in the rain. I loose power in the gas pedal and rpm's drop to idle. Is it an ABS issue or computer? No engine lights

I have a 1993 RV with 454 Chevy. The engine occasionally quits running while driving on freeway. It quits abruptly. After 15 min it starts.

You're reading My car "missed" on the highway the other day. The rpms dropped for a moment, but it never shut off. Now every time I start it back up, it dies when I push on the gas. What is this and how do I fix it?
