Car 2004 m62 powered.
We are on our way to France. On the m20 the car started to get Jerry. Loss of power but the engine ran like it had bad fuel or a misfire. It also started drinking alot of fuel and the fuel economy dived. I stopped on the hard shoulder. Idle was normal. Switched engine off and started. Idle normal but engine management light comes on. No other check control warning. I put it in drive and it moves albeit very roughly. As I pick up speed the engine engine start to run more smoothly. After a fee minutes it back to normal service. Kickdown works and there is power. The fuel economy also recovers. We on le shuttle now. Off to Disney land.
What the heck could be wrong? Hopefully it can wait till we get home to address whatever the fault is. What ever it is it has "fixed" itself.
I filled up with tesco's 99 octane fuel yesterday. The car ran fine for the first 50 miles this morning but that could be on the residual fuel left over as it only took 85 litres. Could it be bad fuel? If it was what now.
