Default loss of power

Guys

When i was coming home, i experienced a loss of power. I went over a speed hump on Hay St at no more than 30 and felt a sudden power loss. (not sure if i am using the right terminology) I can feel the engine struggle after I cleared the bump.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks heaps!

I had to rev twice as hard in 1st and 2nd to get up to 30ish. It sounded like spark plugs or cylinders failed.

I just took it round the block, seems fine now. Whats going on?

Hi Slackzy,

Has it happened again since last time? and does it happen when the car is cold?
