Strange problems while cruising and accelerating above 45
First off I have a 10th AE.
I was driving the car around and everything was running great, no problems at all.
I went home and it was parked for about four hours. I went to drive it again and when while I was accelerating it was fine until about 45, then everything went to hell. It's like the car just stopped putting fuel in, I floored it, down shifted, left off, shifted up, nothing made what would seem like the injectors fire again. Then all of a sudden they kick back on. The car runs fine for about 30 seconds and cuts off again. It continues to do this the entire time I'm driving it. I have to keep it at WOT for it to continue to run.
I have no idea what would cause this, if it's a faulty wire or a bad fuse or something that would be great, I really haven't had time to look at those things. Any suggestions on what to look for would help.
Thanks
