          What’s the mileage? High? It could be the fuel filter needs changing. This cause my old sunbird to loose all power to its turboed engine. These cause all kinds of trouble when clogged or rusted beyond recognition(mine was)

            Even a small vacuum hose leak can cause the same type of loss- Check near intake area for hissing sounds.(rev up throttle)
