The car would buck, and then Lose power....Going 30 MPH it would drop to 10, if I was going 60 it would drop to 40...gas pedal would speed it up, but very slowely...no powewr on hills. But once I stopped, and restarted, it would run great for weeks...then do it again...Now it started to stall occasionally when this happens...Yesterday it started fine...I moved 5 feet, and the car lost power and stalled...I get the check engine light when it bucks...and then it dings 3 times every 2-3 minutes, until I stop the engine...and restart it...after a day or so the light goes away. Now it wont start, and while trying all the lights come on, then go off, but the lightening bolt stays on while turning over....what the hell?
