Hello, I was driving up a two mile fairly steep grade to my house and the engine cut power and the engine light came on.  There was a little power to let me go about 2 miles an hour but no faster.  I pulled over to let other cars go by then i continued up the hill.  Then it would get power temporarily and zoom forward then go back to crawling up the hill then all of a sudden it gets all its power and i was able to make it home.  i need this car for the next 6 months or so.  what can i do?  I think it has something to do with the incline.  the gas gauge does move down when i go up a hill.

i took it for a drive around the block after and it seems to drive just fine.

 

Thanks!

Check fuel pump pressure and the filter.  When was it last changed, per the maintenance schedule?
