Over the last week my engine has had extremely low power when driving highway speeds. ( No engine lights) Today my car stalled out as I was turning into a parking lot (oil, battery light) turned the car off and turned it back on about five minutes later and it ran fine (enough to make it to work anyway) it's been raining for the last few days, the last time it rained for a while I was losing power as well and the mechanic said it wouldn't effect anything like that. I have checked my battery connections, they are solid with no corrosion. Oil was fine as well. What could possible be my problem? Shifting still seems to be smooth, car seems to vibrate sometimes at stops as well.

Welcome to right turn signal or brake to light up

Interestingly, heavy or excessive rain can have an adverse effect on the vehicle's ignition system. So, I'm curious why is said that to you. Since there is no issue with the check engine light coming on, there are several different things that can cause a loss of power. Things such as low fuel pressure, a plugged catalytic converter, weak ignition coil, and the list goes on. However, there are a few simple things that can cause the same issues. Take a look through this link. It discusses low power issues that may pertain to the issue causing the problem. Do this and let me know the results. At that point, I will know better where to direct you

I will watch for your response.

Take care and if I don't hear from you in the next few days, have a nice Easter,

Joe

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately the car had to be towed to the dealership for the repairs and with the holiday weekend they were booked until tomorrow. I will update when they run the diagnosis then.
