clogged fuel filter, fuel pump on its way out, computer or sensor problem. could be anything at this point. Check engine light on ? If so you gotta pull the code. optispark if your car has one.

Checked your pro, so it's a 95 optispark may be the culprit.

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem/engine sensor. What year is it? I could take a look at it with my scanner and or fuel pressure gauge.I'll be at island dragway tomorrow with a few people on the forums if you want me to take a look at it. let me know.

ok.....thats OBD-II stuff. for 93-95, we have an opti that has two sensors. one sees eight positions, the other sees 360. 96-97 got the hole in the timing case cover.
