ok, had to resurrect the thread... it happened again. i think i finally have the formula. it needs to be HOT around 95+ driving for more hten 2-3 hours strait and have less then 1/3 tank of gas. somewhere along this equasion of what leads up to my issue all these items are met and its typically on the highway going over 60 and then blam, i cant accellerate anymore to pass other cars.
today it got progressivly worse very fast where i could not even keep a constant 40mph in 4th 3rd or 2nd gear... when it gets like this it WILL stall out on me if its not in gear with the momentum keeping the car moving... clutch in and the rpms drop fast and instant stall. so far only fixes are to let it sit for minimum of 10 min and that buys me around 20 min driving time, ro a few hours and it goes away for about the same time. the interesting thing is that if i fill up the tank to full with new gas, it is fine.... again till i get down below 1/3-1/4 tank and a very hot day with lots of driving.
possibly pump going out? i really am having a hard time figuring this out.
going to reclarify the exact symptoms: when driving i gradually lose how much power i can harness. it starts with not being able to accellerate hard (more then 3/4 throttle) and when i do it falls on its face as if i am barely touching the throttle. its not a sputter, its an instant drop like i turned the key off. the farther i go the more power i lose, and i cant get passed 1/2 throttle, and finally cant maintain speed in any gear in any RPM.
thoughts? SVTTECH? anyone? i drive my car for a living, and dont have any other vehicle, so this is really getting difficult on the work front.
