Why would the engine while accelerating bog down and loose power then regain all the power at once?

Answer

I had the same problem with my van, after many misdiagnosed repairs it turned out to be that the 02 censor was not working properly, have that checked.

Answer

I suprised myself and resolved this problem on mine: Too much dirt, etc built up in in line fuel filter. As I accelerated larger demand for fuel caused blockage and starved off motor.

Check the little things first!

Answer

I have the same problem but not the answer.

But i have just relised that when it happens the driving lights go dim.

bog when accelerating

That all depends if its a carbrated model or a fuel injected model. carbrated model has an easy anwser. you have a dead spot in the carb. you can do 1 of 2 things. rebuild your old carb or buy a new one. generally the float is just sticking. with fuel injected cars when you have a problem like that the check engine light should come on.

If it has a distributor, check to see that the weights under the rotor are free moving. If they stick, then the timing will be slow to advance and the engine will bog for a second or two.
