I had this happen last spring a couple of times and then it just stopped; it has now started again.

Basically as I am driving (whether just starting in 1st or 2nd or cruising in 4th or 5th) the car starts to stop, then surge, stop, surge etc.

It feels like there is a complete loss of power to the engine, but there isn't because it is still running. I.e. if I pull over it is idling fine. Occasionally the 4WD light comes on when this happens, but not all the time.

When this happened last year I thought maybe dirty AFM's or dirty fuel. I initially thought AFM's as there was a heap of pollen around the first time it started happening. But this wouldn't account for the 4WD light I don't think.

Maybe an electrical issue with the ATTESSA?

It's odd though because I can still have my foot in the same position on the accelerator and power cuts, then surges back on.

Any thoughts?

Dry solder could be gone in the AFM or the plug, or a fueling issue (faulty fuel pump or blocked filter), or alternator (is voltage dipping when it starts to stop?)

I know when I had it on the dyno they said that the fuel pump is old and was struggling.

I don't think voltage is dipping.

Would any of the AFM or possible fuel pump issues make the 4WD light come on though? I guess this is making me lean towards an electrical issue.
