2.8 cuts out at around 3500 rpm

Hey guys,

Im new here and new to the world of 3rd generations, so please bear with me. Ok so here's what I got goin on...

Car wants to cut out when it gets around 3500 rpm, (in all gears). Feels like its not gettin sufficient gas. i just replaced the fuel pump and sending unit 3 days ago and thought it fixed the problem. Well lastnight i was runnin around with a buddy and the check engine light came on...i think it did so after a short burnout, but it still ran fine. It went out after i shut the car off. Then today I went to town and was cruisin on the freeway at a pretty good clip (85-90). After i exited and started to go again it seemed to cut out at 3500. It runs fine up to that engine speed. Runs fine when you first start it up, its just after i have done a bit of runnin around.

Can anyone give me sum ideas?
Thanks in advance and Hello to all of you for the first time!

Ok so I got it figured out...besides replacing the EGR valve and fixing a lower intake leak, the timing was retarded 10 degrees! Got it all taken care of and now its a whole new car!
