i have an 87 LX 4cyl conversion car that now has a 306 with an E cam and some bolt ons...blah blah blah...
anyway...the car starts and drives fine until it warms up or I really start getting on it....it doesnt stall it just has NO throttle response...you can limp it by feathering the throttle, but if you go past about a quarter of the way it wont do anything but sputter a little bit. the car does not stall out when this happens...and the really wierd thing about it...is that you can cut the car off (while still cruising down the road) crank it right back up...and it will drive like nothing ever happened...for a few miles at least) then it repeats the process...i managed to get it back to the house yesterday while it was still doing it...i pulled in the driveway, put it in neutral and nailed the gas and it did absolutely nothing but hunt for an idle...cut it off and restarted, nailed it again and VROOOM.. 5 grand no problem...anyone ever heard anything like this?? first time for me...any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks.
