Consumer Description

POWER LOSS WHEN ACCELERATING HARD ON THE FREEWAY (65MPH+). POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, MAKING ME A HAZARD ON THE ROAD! THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO 'LIMP' UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE, THE VALVES WERE FOUND TO HAVE MAJOR CARBON BUILDUP AND THE #1 CYLINDER HAD A CRACKED SPARK PLUG.
