this is a bit of a strange one for me. about 3 weeks ago, i had a huge loss of power while driving. it seemed to get better, but then last week it got really bad. whats happening is: i can only push down the accelerator about 10-15% of the way down. if i press it down any more than that, it feels like i let off the gas completely and it just kind of coasts. but once i let off the gas a bit and get back to that 10-15% mark, it gets its power back. its not much power depending on how fast i'm travelling at that point in time... however the strange thing is, it idles fine and if i give it gas while sitting in park/neutral, it revs up just fine. something tells me that this would have something to do with the transmission (fluid level was only 1/4 qt low), however i'm not quite sure because it shifts fine and its not slipping at all and was just rebuilt 12000 miles ago. its just bogging down once the accelerator reaches a certain point. if anyone has any ideas, i'm all ears.
