I have a 88 Festiva that has been running great until recently. After running for about 20 miles or so, the engine begins to lose power. Upon downshifting into a lower gear it continues to lose power until I shift into second or third gear. Then all of a sudden it regains its power although it does not seem to regain all of its power. I have replaced the plugs, wires, pcv valve, distributor cap and button, fuel filter, and air filter. I have also tried putting gas treatment thinking it may somehow be water in the gas. I have also sprayed the carburetor with cleaner hoping it may help. I am kinda out of ideas so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you saying it just loses power ,like it shuts off and coast a bit then comes back on ,
Or it loses power and it still accelerates or maintains , just down on power , but will not gain any speed .------------------------------------------------
