My 2005 Holden Viva auto loses drive when accelerating, but it?s ok if I restart it. What could be wrong?
Answered by CarsGuide
5 Jul 2011You need to have a mechanic check it with a diagnostic tool to find the cause of the problem. It could be a number of things, including a failed catalytic converter that’s collapsed and partially blocking the exhaust.
