I was driving on the interstate and my car, as it seemed, began losing momentum. Almost like it was getting pulled or the engine was cutting off. But all of my levels are ood. Imdue for an oil change but thats it. Wat do you think might be the issue. I was advised that it might be the vaccuum in my engine line. But thats not professional advice.
