Hey
I have a VW Passat 1998 GLS with automatic transmission. Recently, I have come to have a slight problem with my car.

When I press on the gas pedal too hard, basically need some power, it seems that the engine chokes and loses power with the car shaking, which seems that is trying to increase power but keeps losing it.

Anyone experienced similar problems? Any possible ideas of what can be?

Sincerely

No light on. The diagnostic does not detect any problem
