When you have loss of power does the engine feel like it is bogging out or skipping? Is the check engine light on? If so, what are the code numbers? What is the fuel rail pressure when the problem is occurring?





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

To add and clarify colleagues suggestions...
scan for codes even if CEL light is off - often FREE at many auto parts stores... post ALL codes someone will advise.
What was the fuel pressure ?
You did reinstall the CAT after testing.
Let us know any modifications - remote start, added electrical ie GPS, audio alarm etc
