My 2005 GMC Canyon loses power out of nowhere.I can pull over & restart/then ok?
What is your question?
My 2005 GMC Canyon 2.8L 4 Cylinder runs fine then out of nowhere it loses all power?I can pull over and shut it off then it runs normal again but sometimes it does it(loses power) several times a day and the reduced power light flashes then sometimes it will do it right away after getting the power back,then i pull back out and it does it again right away and sometimes it may not do it at all.Does anyone else have this problem or have an idea of what could be wrong?This is dangerous when i have kids after it smoothes back out and go to pull out onto the highway and it does it over and over.Please help.Thank you!

It could be many things, unfortunately and without experiencing the problem first hand or being able to do some basic diagnostic tests its hard to say. Is there a Check Engine Light/Service Engine Soon light on? If so a scan tool will be needed to retrieve codes stored in the computer of your car. The codes stored in the computer would indicate where the problem is or at least give a basic starting point to do tests. If so the computer in your car is going to have relevant information stored in its memory which will help figure out what is going on. A scan tool is needed to retrieve this information. A professional grade scan tool allows key engine sensor data to be analyzed right off the scan tool without having to do intrusive testing at each sensor.I would be looking at fuel pressure, fuel trim figures on the scan tool, look at what the computer sees as being the air intake volume into the engine to see if the throttle body/air flow meter is supplying correct information to the computer in your car.
