    VN V6, nothing special
    ok i was driving around today on gas obviously.... and was going fine.... turn off the car 4 a couple hrs and go again.... i notice when i put the foot to the floor, no action feels like the engine just stops working practicually :S and im like wtf? THEN it got worse and i had to slow down on the freeway because a truck tiped... (obviously everyone had to have a look) so i go to give it after i get away from it... and a TRUCK going on a straight road with a full load was beating me upto the speed limit and i was still climbing speed VERRRY slowly when he took off... with in a km or 2 i got upto 70km so i cracked it and put it onto petrol and worked fine flyed upto 100km easy... i dont get it, let the car kool down and it STILL done it a couple hours later.... and i checked to make sure the converter didnt freeze up but it was hot, not cold..... so can someone help me here? ill try it when i wake up but yeah. thanks in advance people

    sounds like there isn't enough gas there.. does your gauge work properly.. that is pretty strange.. gas is pretty simple stuff. just check to make sure you are getting enough gas..

    the wax gums up the diaframs in the coverter, ther stick and dont let the gas get richer as you accelerate
