hey everyone, i cant understand what is happening to my 88t2. i took my 7 out today. i would do a redline pull in 2nd then shift to third and pull to red line then the car turns off when i take the car out of gear and coast whats going on with my car. i just did a comp test and all faces of the motor were between 105-110. thanks in advance

When you start it does it just die now?

 

no it starts just fine and idles at a steady 850-900 rpms

 

Was it just that one time or does it do it every time?

 

Hmmm.... I was going to suggest a TPS issue before you mentioned it starts and idles fine. Might be worth it to check out the TPS anyway, they like to do weird stuff.

 

its every time, and i will recheck my tps tomorrow

 

That wouldn't be a bad idea. My friends car had a similar problem, he would redline it and then put it in neutral and the car would die. Turned out he had an injector that would get stuck and flood the motor.

If the motor was flooded after it died I would take a look at your injectors.

 

just had my injectors cleaned by witch performance last year

 

hey i checked my tps and it was a normal 1-5 sweep.

 

does anyone have any other ideas of what it could be

 

hey i just went out to see if the car is still dieing after two consecutive red line pulls. yeah its still just shuts off. any idea what is going on with my car?

 

have you changed the fuel filter? and fuel pump strainer?

 

do you have a lightweight flywheel?

 

i just changed my fuel filter in Aug and i have a stock flywheel. what is the strainer?

 

anyone have any clue on whats going on?

 

the strainer is attached to your fuel pump. it lets only fuel go through the pump.

that might be clogged up as someone was tryin to say above, go through your trunk area and check the strainer to see if it looks like fuel can flow through it.

 

it could be full of crud ,,,it could be why it turns off

 

check your dashpot on the TB. It makes sure throttle plates don't shut abruptly when you let of the throttle. Also calibrate your TPS and make sure there are no vacuum leaks.
