Sudden Loss of Power
Has anyone experienced a sudden loss of power during acceleration? This has happened to me several times since I've had my truck. It always happens within the first 5 - 10 minutes of driving and always when I'm accelerating (trying to pass someone). It seams as though the truck just shuts down. When it happens I let off the pedal for a second and then can start to accelerate again. My check engine light comes on too. The light always goes back off on its own after a few starts.
Any idea of what might be causing this? Its starting to get frustrating. Is it something that I need to get checked out?
Thanks, Pete

How do I get the codes? I don't have a programmer yet. I'm assuming that the code will stay as long as the check engine light is on. Is that a true statement?
