Does it cut out in other gears, or just 1st? A single bad igniter would not cause this; the symptoms you describe would require the loss of all igniters.

I had some problems with my clutch a couple of months ago, and tried vacuum bleeding and the traditional method. Neither worked. I searched the "internets" and found another method. It WORKS, period. For whatever reason, bleeding a hydraulic clutch and bleeding brakes are different, and a...

Well it was the fuel pump. Big D had an extra sock unit with ~20,000 miles on it that he gave me gratis, and it worked wonders. Car has linear power from 1,000 through to redline. Wow, it feels GOOD! Thanks to all for their help. Thanks especially to Big D for the pump. Daniel

My opinions, for what they are worth- As Ralph Cerbone says, heli-coils (or any of the other similar repair kits) are proven methods for the repair. They are stronger than the original threads in the aluminum head. They are steel threads that lock into the aluminum, and once locked in they...

I did check the O2 sensors by unplugging them and test driving. Although it did seem to be a bit better (maybe richer mixture in fuel map when these faults are detected?), there was still a definite difference when rpms climbed to 4500. The difference is dramatic, like hitting boost with a...

I replaced the two O2 sensors about six months ago. The CEL was on and the codes indicated the front sensor, as I remember, but I changed both. As the forums say, what a PITA! Of course, replacing them doesn't guarantee that they are still working correctly, so I will pull the connectors and...

It would be easier to understand a "tired" fuel pump if the thing didn't take off like a banshee at ~4500 and run strong to redline. Also, acceleration is strong when the resistor is jumpered out. The strong performance above 4500 also makes it hard to believe that the problem is ignition...

I've had the car for a little more than a year, and this problem has been occurring for a couple of months. Performance is really flat below 4500 rpm, then the power comes on like it should (full throttle, as they say!). It's like driving a turbo. Problem "feels" fuel related. I checked...
