When my temperature gauge reaches half way or driving more than about thirty minutes I am getting a loss of power on the accelerator. When I turn on the heater full blast in the car the power to the accelerator slowly comes back and the temperature starts to drop on the gauge.

Hello,

It sounds like you have an over heating problem not a low engine power problem. But just in case here are a couple of guides you can go through to test for both problems.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.
