    fluctuating power

    ok..my car's been acting funny. especially around 60 MPH mark..it slows down automatically and then surges ahead like some turbo charger came on..all on its own..all the while my foot on the pedal remains steady...it goes fast and slow all on its own. and this happens especially when the car's A/c is on.

    So now i am not sure whether my car performs at its optimum level all the time and slows donw from time to time or if it performs like an ass and goes fast from time to time

    so I am thinking i should take the following steps to correct this problem:

    -change the fuel filter
    -change engine oil and oil filter
    -put in carb cleaner

    Do u think these meausres will help or is there anything else that you would recommend?

    My car's only done around 53k miles so i dont expect major engine trouble..hopefully..and i dont have the money for a new carburator either

    looking forward to your helpful responses
