When I push hard on the gas pedal the engine gets to about 3k then cuts out till it gets sown to 2k then back up to 3k like a rev limiter. May be poorly adjusted throttle cable? |

You have a manual transmission? There is a throttle switch on the throttle body rather than a throttle position sensor. It has two functions. It slightly increases the fuel flow at idle, and also at higher power settings. The engine will run just fine with the throttle switch unplugged. Perhaps your distributor is in need of repair. GMF member fainya is the man. http://geometroforum.com/profile/605915/ Send him an email from this link. He's not on here, much, so a PM may go unanswered for a while. |

I just got an email from fainya. He has a vacuum advance distributor in stock, ready to go. He's going to want your core back. No holding out.
