Q: Loss of power during driving - 1993 Dodge Dynasty
On one ocassion while I was on a road trip, the car suddenly started losing power and I couldn't accelerate past 30 mph. I had the car towed to the repair shop and after an hour, the car ran like nothing happened. However, several days ago, I had similar a thing happen. I had the car towed. Now, when I start the car and put it in first or second, it cannot run past 30 mph. In addition to that, the speedometer quit working. Is this an engine or transmission problem?
