My son is driving my 86.5 Hardbody V6 and he is having a strange issue. While driving at speed the engine will suddenly lose power like it shut off, then touch the accelerator and it comes back again. I seem to remember something similar back in the early 90's that happended to me in the same fashion but I cannot remember what the fix was. Might have been a throttle position sensor. Any feedback here? I just spent nearly a grand on a fuel injector and a MAF for the thing. It has been running pretty good for 260,000 miles (only about 1000 on a rebuilt engine). Thanks for the help

same thing happening to me too. i have a 87 pathfinder. when i drive it stalls and seems like it wants to die. then i give a little gas and it goes a bit. then same then over and over. don't know what the problem is though. well weird part was didn't start happening till it winter came and it started to get cold

it could be the carb. or a dirty fuel filter
