Q: My car is losing power while I'm driving.
When I start my car it idles at just over 1000 rpm. After a few minutes it drop to below 1000 rpm. I start driving and it loses power and won't let me go above 2000 rpm. It seems like it's going to stall. So I pull over wait a few minutes until it's stop trying to stall. Then it drives well and never misses a heart beat.
My car has 65583 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
