Hey guys I've run into a problem with my car. For some reason the car will not go past 4k, especially in 4th gear. 1st pulls hard, 2nd pulls hard, 3rd pulls great but sometimes hesitates, and 4th just stutters so bad it won't go past 4k. It like the RPM's go up 200 or so, then drop back down 100 and so forth, almost as if the car wants to go but something is holding it back. I changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, no vacuum leaks, battery checks out nice, terminals nice and snug. I haven't re-wired the fuel pump though, but I doubt that would be the culprit here. I'm going to install my wideband and FP gauge sometime in the next week when it's nice out so I could get a readout on that too. I'm thinking it's spark though. One of the coils has got to be weak or something I don't know..
I don't know what this could be at all. It baffle me because 1st and 2nd are great, then one I get into 4th its like a stagnant 60-70 MPH diriving speed. I could get up to 80 but it would take a while and the car really doesn't want to build boost in 4th.
I've read alot about open and closed loops the ECU sets. I don't know if this would have anything to do with it but could someone enlighten me as to what that is?
It;s not making the car undriveable but it's making me wonder what the hell is going on.. All suggestions and input are helpful.
