well i got a few kills in before the car died again... :(

well i finally got a good tranny in my car. i had a little fun...

i haven't been able to drive it for like 4 months.

we slapped the tranny in there at about 10pm. first time i took it out for a test drive, this pontiac grand prix GTP turns the coner with me, then nails it. so i punched it and started pullin on him. we kept catching green lights for awhile...he would come up next to me, we'd both nail it...and i would just pull away. so we finally catch a light. he opens his door (i was on his left) and tells me his window is broke. then he says, "man you keep whooping my ***! Finally a red light."
so i get the revs up a lil bit, light goes green, and i put 1 1/2 car lenghts, and kept pulling. we raced at a couple more lights with the same results.

then i raced this 70's blue malibu with exhaust. it sounded pretty tough but he didnt have nothing. then i raced some chevy truck with a supercharger or somethin. we were both gettin off the highway on higley going north, i was in the right lane and he was in the left lane, and he tries to go past me. his truck was faast, he started pullin on me, the i started pullin back at about 40mph, then he slows down and turns into home depot. i was pretty pissed, i wanted to race him from a light. probably one of the fastest trucks ive raced.

then finally, turning onto gilbert from southern coming home, i see a couple sets of blue headlights turning with me. one was a civic and the other was an accord or a integra...i couldnt tell. so they start pacing me. i give it a lil gas and the civic gets behind me, right on my ***, then he gets in the right lane and we both nail it. sad to say, he started pulling on me. then the light at the 60 turns red and they both get over to get on the freeway. my friend james yells to them "lets go!!", but the guy said he had to get home, so the other car yells out lets go, and he stays back so i can cutt on to the highway. so the civic takes off, then i take off, i blew by him this time.....

then, i feel the car start to die out....i try to give it gas and it just starts cutting out......every time i give it gas! then it just dies. i coasted all the way to mesa drive, and pulled it aroung the corner onto holmes rd. i tried to start it...it started up...then started stumbling....then died. i ended up being pulled home by james accord.

i don't know what to do. i am thinkin maybe fuel injectors or something. any ideas will help.

sorry for such a long post. jus havent been able to drive in awhile, and tonight was pretty fun...till it died.

man my sig says it all...
