    I had a similar problem, but it was when I accelerated above 4000 RPM, does your dad accelerate well? i.e, does he try to get up to speed quickly? if so, get him to try driving like a grandfather! If you put your foot down, then the fuel gets thrown into the engine quicker, it can then pull debris, or even air (in my case) into the engine, and as we all know - air doesnt burn very well!

    if it works better when he drives true grandad style, then replace the fuel filter as a starting point!
