94, 940, Car cutd out at speed

Post by klar5020 »

I been having a problem with my car seeming to cut out on the freeway. There's just a little bump in the forward motion when I'm cruising down the highway. It seems to be random and getting worse. The acceleration is OK and it runs OK at low speed like driving around town. I was thinking about the fuel pump or filter may be going. Not really sure if it fuel or ignition. Would the underfloor fuel pump cause something like this if it was going out?

By the way... I checked the transmission fluid and it was a little low so I added some more but it continues...

Could it be in your mind?

Ghosts created by scientists in 'disturbing' lab experiment

Scientists in Switzerland have shown that ghosts are probably just an
illusion created by the mind when it momentarily loses track of the
body’s location

I guess it could be but it's gotten worse.. now it cuts out at idle.. not bad enough to kill the engine but it does hesitate.. any speed on the highway.. hot or cold.. full or low gas... Not sure if it's the ignition cutting out or lack of gas.. I'll check more tonight...
