Hello guys,

Recently i noticed something really strange about my car. When i drive up in a very steep hill, my engine power seems to cut out. This only happens when i am low on gas (around 100km left in tank). But that is the way i go to work everyday, and it never happened to me before even if i was low on gas for the past 2 years. I brought it to the dealer to check during the last maintenance, they "SAID" they replaced some sensor but i am still having the same issue. I wonder did they even bother to do maintenance because they also forgot to reset the maintenance light. :frown:

Any help would be great!

i have heard of ppl's car cutting out when going up a hill before, here on this board, i dont remember what is was, but i think it was the cam follower, if anything i would start there.

Nope. It's all stock.
