Answer
Any "Check Engine" light coming on?Might possibly be an injector solenoid sticking under a load.takes a little time to find which one it is is the only problem.Have to hook a laptop or hand held diagnostic tool to it & drive it while it is doing it.Then cut out the injectors to see which one it is.
