Engine Performance problem
1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass 6 cyl

We've replaced the module, coil pack, fuel pump, ignition switch, and no dice. Anyone got any idea what the heck is going on?

Only part of the heading is readable. When does the engine cut out?

It cuts off as soon as the gas is touched. It idles good.

Have the throttle position sensor checked or replaced.

Let me know what you find.
