Ok, so ya'll heard my car (Green '96, Zetec) about die as I pulled away tonight, and then not wanna give me any power. Now that ya'll have heard it, maybe I can give you the story and hopefully you can help me.
It threw a check engine light, had it pulled. Bank 1 too lean. I ran injector cleaner (two tanks) through it, as well as replaced the upstream O2 sensor. When I first start it up from cold, it runs like you guys heard. After it warms up some, it runs better, but still has absolutely no power. I physically cannot get it above 85 mph, EVER. At about 4k RPM it sounds like a rev limiter is kicking in, except rather than just dying briefly, it will drop back down to 1000RPM or so and stay there until I let off the throttle. Also, if I put it at WOT, it'll simply stall and die. Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?
Also, a few months ago I threw an EGR valve CEL, didn't have time to replace it right then, ran from Topeka to KC, and about half way there (Lawrence or so), the check engine light went out, and never had that particular problem since.
Thanks in advance-
