I have a 94 mercury Sable. Bout a week ago it started acting up. After you drive it for about 30 minutes it seems like it dies out you could have the gas pedal totally pressed and nothing the speed just starts dropping. Then after a minute or 2 it will buck and drive normal for a few minutes than right back to the same thing again. Its almost as if the car is off for that minute or 2 no noise or anything

Check engine light on or flash? Suspect fuel pump issue need to have pressure checked should be 40-44 psi.
