2000 Alero V6 intermittenly decelerates while driving forcing me to pull to the side of the road. When I try to give it gas it will not accelerate but the car does not stall. If I shut the engine off and immediately start it again, sometimes it starts running fine again and sometimes it will not start at all. If I wait a little bit before I turn on the engine again it almost always runs as normal. This problem usually occurs when driving continuously for 30 minutes or more.
At first, I though it could be the battery and charging system. But all electric works fine and lights do not dim when problem is occuring.
No warning lights come up and has happened with multiple tanks of gas.
If it is a fuel system problem, could an old Fuel filter render the car powerless?, or does anyone think it is more likely the fuel pump or fuel regulator.
Any help is greatly appreiciated.
