Sometimes when i'm driving the car it will lose power.
i can be driving and then I can feel it start to lose power and even though I press on the gas it does nothing and just stalls. After some time it will start back up and drive for a while. It will happen when I do not have the a/c going but has happened with it going also. It seems if I run the a/c it will definitely happen. Could it have something to do with the fuel system like pump etc? Thanks for any info.

Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, bogging etc. Could be caused by one of the following below.

Inspect and test all the following listed below and get back with some results

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
