Lack of power (can't accelerate in third gear)

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Lauren

You mention that the truck had been sitting for a while, with my trucks here in the States and what they have done to the gas, I would stay the gas had gone flat or picked up nearly a full load of water that the ethanol has absorbed. Gas has gotten so problematic that I don't even start to look for causes of poor performance without getting a fresh tank of gas.

Do let us know what you find so we add the diagnostic tip to our lists.


Cheers Phil
