why would my car pull back while driving?

Question

while driving my car pulls back. like if i was down shifting. it only does it after driving a few mins. after a while of it doing that i lost power steering for a moment and two lights came on my dash. it was for only a moment so i am not sure what lights they where. after that it drove normal. i parked th car let it sit for a hour. i drove around a bit and it started to pull back again. some factors that it might be.
my car is due for a oil change but not much only a few 100 miles
it has been colder then usual
my car wasnt driven for a few days
i gased up not to long ago.(still have a full tank)
distreptor was replaced not to long ago
any clue? how much it will cost to fix.

Answer 1

Two things come to mind. Bad or lose belt on the alternator causing it to sometimes slip and fail to provide adequate power to the car or a bad alternator all together that is no longer providing enough power to power the vehicle. I would check the belt first.

Answer 2

It sounds like your describing hestitation, and that can happen when you need a tune-up. Sometimes a certain type of gas can do it.

If that's what it is its usually some relatively minor thing, and, as you said, it could be letting it sit in the cold for a while. They sell gas additives that are intended to clean stuff up for a while and stop engine hesitation - just to make the point that it could be gas -or gas filter-related.

I can't pretend to know what's causing what you describe, but if it is hesitation is usually isn't a big problem or cost very much (unless you get the "giant, super-duper, tune-up" that includes stuff usual ones don't. If you have something like dirty filters the cold weather and letting the car sit could "highlight" that.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program.
