My 1987 Rx7 gxl is bucking and not going past 1500 rpms no matter how far I go on the throttle. It will idle fine, but as soon as you start on the gas is sounds like it is murdering itself.... HELP!

Can you rev the car while it is in neutral?

Sounds kinda like the air flow meter but is this 5 spd or automatic. Did you buy the car like this and was there anything you replaced previously?

Fuel pressure? Stick a gauge in and make sure it's not dropping off pressure when it bucks.

A dudd air flow meter will also cause this.
