Re: Intermittent Losing of Power in Plymouth TC-3

The next time you are driving along and your engine starts losing power in the
manner you described, pull over to the side of the road and get out and remove
your gas tank cap.  If you hear a larger-than-usual hiss of air when you  open
the cap, and then your engine runs smoothly afterwords, then you'll know  that
you have a problem in the fuel-tank venting system.  This problem happens  oc-
cassionlly, and is terribly difficult to find, because the problem is  nowhere
near the engine compartment!
