I have an issue and I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around it. It’s been a 3 day process. On the first day, I had driven about 15 minutes across town, I turned the corner and tried to accelerate. It sped up to about 20-30kms and then I lost all acceleration. The car never died and I lifted my foot off and pressed down again and it drove fine, continued to for the rest of the day. Day two, I was driving across town again and twice the car would start shuddering and then the revs would drop and the car would turn off/stall, I would lose all acceleration and braking. Then today, every time I came to a corner/stop/slight incline the revs would drop to almost zero at either idle or low speeds and the engine would start shuddering and trying to turn off. In a 20 minute drive across town it shut off/stalled 4 times. And tonight it’s idle/start up sounds very rough, and within 10 seconds of turning it on the engine starts shuddering and will then stall/turn off. I have already replaced the battery (most obvious choice) but I’m stuck on where to go from there. Any ideas what it could be? *it has fuel in it, I have checked manually incase it was a faulty gas gauge* update - it still runs and drives and some days it has this issue and then the next it acts like it’s perfectly fine
