Thats the best way I have to describe what my 88 lx SD car is doing.

If the car is sitting still it will rev like it should. When it's taken down the road the car will accelerate and do like normal and will rev over 5K no problem as long as you stay out of the throttle. WHen the throttle is layed down the car acts like you spraked it with out the bottle open.

Specs.
CAI
cobra intake
MSD dist
adj fpr
BBK shortys, H, and flowmasters
Udnerdrive pullies
65mm TB


What we've tried.
Adjusted Fuel pressure, changed fuel pressure gauge to verify.
set timing
cleaned injectors
reset TPS
replaced plug wires
swapped dist



Please help.

run codes...

 

Ran the codes and came back with EGR (which is not on the car) and a temp sensor "out of range" (replaced it).

How's your clutch?

Are any of your ignition wires crossing or tight against the block? I had similar problems when I put some cheapo ignition wires on, one wasnt long enough and was taunt against the block.... That bitch mustve been arcing or somthin but when I took them back off the problem was fixed.

 

THe cars an auto. I replaced the plug wires 3 times and still have the same problem.

Thanks for the ideas though!! Kep em coming.


What are the chances of a computer problem?

Fixed.


It was the MAP sensor.
