92 talon cuts out at 3000 RPM

isnt there a test to do where you unplug the maf and drive the car or was that to check idle problems ......

You're best bet is to find the NT sub forum and post there. I would suspect that an O2 sensor is not the source of your problems. I have literally ran without both o2's for a while and the car did not respond as drastically as that. I would start with general maintenance (spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, belts, adjust ignition timing, etc) before moving to major parts. Performance issues are usually almost always due to old age, versus anything else. That being said, the 1G ECU is definitely a source to check too (search here on how to check it).

thank you i posted in the newbie fourum and i was told it may be a MAF but its a good thing to know its def not an o2

I've personnally never tested this, but the techs at my local Mitsubishi dealership told me this once: If the closed throttle / idle position switch on the throttle body is disconnected, the car won't rev over 3,000 rpm. Period. Worth a check. It's about the simplest circuit on the car to repair. Mine fell apart under the weight of my gaze (from me looking at it) about a month ago. It's the single wire terminal on the cylindrical switch attached to the throttle lever/bellcrank.
PS: unmodified NT 4g63=200,000+ miles w/ original clutch, trans, engine, etc. If this car ends up running well and is in good shape, think twice before messing it up. Keep it as a DD and buy someone else's mess as a project ($6,000 worth of aftermarket go-fast goodies+a whole car) for $3,000.
