Engine: “I experience a lack of power issue when driving the vehicle and attempting to accelerate past 40-60 mph. I will floor the accelerator and the car still stalls and will not accelerate.

I looked online how to fix it and found multiple people with same issue and condensation build up which mine has without being damage.”
