I guess ill check the tranny fluid to see if its ****ty? [&:] If its darker, then thats a sign of it overheatin, right?
Look for dark color and a rotten smell. Beyond the normal stink of ATF, like dead fish or some crap, I used to know a few motors heads who could sniff it out pretty well. Get the trans temps warm by driving around, then put it in park and check on level ground. Swipe the stick on the first pull, re-insert, then check again. I know you probably know that stuff already but what the hey incase you dont

Well, I just checked the tranny fluid, its the normal light red color, smells normal, and completely covers the little white part with all the dots on it. The car was run about half an hour before i checked it, and the engine was still nice and warm.

So the fluid appears to be clean, and check out?

+1 on the tranny cooler


leaky injectors? i dont know

if it was your fuel filter it would be trouble at idle, not WOT but it sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me

just a guess
I don't think the injectors or fuel filter will have anything to do with it.

i dont think fuel is the problem, hed be having problems no matter what rpm hes at.. id check ur throttle cable and the throttle body itself, check to make sure no vacuum lines have disconnected (happened to me and ran lean) get some carb cleaner spray the inside of the tb and clean it.

Well, its not even at WOT anymore, it happens whenever i go beyond like, 75% throttle. If i go to wot, it starts jerking and stuff at less than 4000, if i go to about 90, it;ll climb to 4300 before having issues, and at about 80%, it can reach 4500. Im uploading vids as we speak.
