First time AMC owner here! I purchased an 84 Eagle wagon a few months ago and I think the shop has had it for longer than I have. A few weeks ago my boyfriend was driving it home from work and said without warning he suddenly lost power; every time he'd press on the gas the engine would just rev. Had it towed to a shop in the area and the mechanic was able to get it to go by shifting it from 2WD into 4, and back again. Drove it around town a bit but couldn't get it to act up again and wasn't sure what could be causing it. So, I go to pick it up this afternoon and for the first 15 or so miles it's doing well... then I hear the engine and notice that I'm gradually slowing down. Pull over, shift it from 2 to 4, get back on the highway. Does it again another 5 or so miles down the road. Any thoughts? I was told the transfer case and associated vaccuums were fine...
I love my cars, but I'm afraid I'm still a novice when it comes to the actual mechanics :( I'm trying to learn as much as I can in my spare time.

ETA: it came with those wheels. I'm not really a fan.
