Couple issues i am having..

[VenomInside]

Well, i have been running into a couple of problems.

a) On start up, I have to keep cranking it until it finally catches and start

b) when reaching the higher points in the RPM band it seems to more or less "fall on it's face" so to speak.

c) The car somewhat tends to die while driving for no apparent reason.

d) The car will idle @ 1500rpm and if i push the brake really hard it will go down to 800. If i let go of the brake it will rush back up to around 1500.

I have talked to victor (flatliner) and he seems to think it's the plugs. (which i will end up changing) but just wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Fuel/Spark/Air.

Change the plugs. Check/change the air filter. Change the fuel filter. If these things don't work, dig deeper. Tune/fuel pump, etc.

+1 ^^^ Start with the cheap easy stuff first.

What modifications have been done to your vehicle? Was it running ok and then just started happening or did you modify something and then it started having issues?

Bring that beast by my house again and I'll help you put new plugs and fuel filter in it.

I did notice when you start it, it puffs out a little bit of smoke :thinking:

After changing the plugs, if you have a handheld tuner you can datalog fuel pressure and see if it's dropping at WOT which could mean clogged fuel filter.

If neither of those are the issue I'd be willing to give you a free pull on the dyno. We'd be able to see if it's a fuel issue or an ignition issue pretty quickly. :headbang:

That's the funniest thing I've heard come out of your mouth...

You'll cry :crying: like a little girl and sell your car when I'm done with you :clap:

Seriously, it takes a few minutes to change your plugs. Try not driving all over the state of Illinois one day and get-r-done.

I had this problem once in my 96 Trans Am, it turned out to be my fuel pump. So I got that changed along with the filter. Everytime I use to go WOT the RPM's would hang and then the car would fall on its face. It shut off on me a couple of times too. How many miles do you have on the car?

Forgot.. Please see part D above.

Speed Inc did the install and tune for the 2.76. I went with new plugs if I remember correctly as well. I asked them for a conservative tune and maybe it's a bit too conseravtive.

Uh, actually, I said this... not just the plugs. Unplug that wax in your ears too.

Part D is most likely your answer. It's probably a vacuum leak.
