this car has been checked from one end to the other. when in full throttle (cold) going through the shift pattern, by the time I hit 3ed gear (auto) it wants to run out of (i think) fuel ! I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP,AND THE FUEL REGULATER. It throws no codes! THERE IS 52 PSI AT THE INJECTORS. When it' a hot engine, full throttle, will get you 15 mph. I TESTED THE INJECTORS. Voltage is correct. MAP is correct. TPS is correct. MAP is correct. Compression is average of 155 accross the board. Scanner reads correct on the trany. temp is good. A NOTE TO THINK ABOUT IS there is no fuel-line problem. I did a test on the injectors,voltage is right up the alley! I even changed the ECU with a known good running car with the same year-accs. Boy" have I ever broken my pick on this one! The ,I guess, reason i'm having this problem is because this car is a dark green!!!! If you can help, I would be as happy as a sailor on liberty.

Hi tin/man,

Hope I can send you to the high seas.

Check the crank and cam sensors. O2 sensor and a clogged exhaust system, especially the catalytic converter.
