    engine performance

    I have lost my power for some reason, it still cruises at 65mph just fine but little to no response when you try to accelarate off a ramp or pass. I just put anti-gell in last week and seems to have done something??? maybe?? what else could it be. Have fl-112 with MBE 4000-435hp 10 speed auto.
