power loss

I have noticed a slight power loss when i'm driving. This can happen at any speed, be it 60 kms/hr., or 100 kms/hr. My RPM's dip slightly under a half point, or 500 rpms. You can also notice a slight loss of power. This happens for only a second or so then returns to normal. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm taking a cross country road trip next week and am concerned. It is an LX 2.0 with 37 000 kilometers....

Thanks so much,
Brant

Nope. Try to get the codes read and report back. Try some fuel inj cleaner (maybe? I am purely grasping around for ideas...). Check the plugs for a dirty/sootier one than the others...

It might be an egr valve. You might want to check with your dealership. Good luck.
