So on the end of a 4 hour road trip my car started acting up.
First is sounds like popcorn or some type of popping in my dash , then comes the hesitation, then the complete power loss
At first it just felt like the o2 sensor died and cursing and idle was running like sh*t unless more than 40% throttle was applied.
Then the car just dies randomly, ( little warning with rpms and power loss) while doing 80mph. Foot down, no power.
I bump it into 4th and floor it and the car comes back like nothing ever happened.
I did notice a couple hours prior my cruise control stopped working , I was using it earlier that road trip.
My first thoughts was the the injectors are gunked up from 3 tanks of e85 in a day, but after searching I’m guessing ECU?
My laptop died 20 mins before this started happening of course , so I didn’t get any logs.
