alright i was racing my friend in my 88 SE, it was runnin fine, pullin through the gears in high RPM's until the last race. did a little launch, had pull through out the lower RPM's but as soon as i start hittin the higher RPM's i noticed that it stopped pulling.it felt that it had lost power, it would go through the RPM's but it would not pull. so what the hell is this?

my 5th and 6th ports work fine, so i assume, because i revved the motor while under the hood and they seem to function fine. but does it have to do with bad connections with the spark plugs or anything? do you think it would do anything with the injectors? this problem just occured out of the cuts, so what the hell is wrong wit my car. it has 118, xxx miles on it, and it was runnin perfectly before this. the motor is fine, is there anything i can do to get it running perfectly again?

please help me on this.

thnx
Rory

 

sounds like clucth slipping

 

did it go through the higher rpms quickly? or did it take longer for the revs to raise? If it did it quickly it probably was a slipping clutch as nfs05 mentioned. If they raise slowly then you have another problem, perhaps a clogged catalytic converter.

sounds to me like your clutch just got hot from racing and started slipping. It will probably be fine once it cools down.

 

its still not having any power in the higher RPM's, and this was saturday morning. are there any possibilities for this?

 

wait, the RPM's do raise slowly. thats what i meant by no pull and no power. so could it be a clogged cat?

 

sorry but...could your cats be clogged up that quick? it was running fine like a minute ago, then after, i feel no power at high rpms. could it still be the reason?

 

cloged cats. my guess. if you can pull those suckers out. grab a can of Carb cleaner, spray the **** out of the pipping and watch the gunnk fall out the other end.

 

thats what happened with my 87 N/A, all of a sudden i noticed no power after 3,000 RPMS, i replaced the cats with a header and high-flow CAT runs great now!........but there was other things the peope on the forum said it could have been....

 

heres my thread and what they said about mine.
