Runs great at idle, but can't get out of its own way in gear
Runs great at idle, but can't get out of its own way in gear
My 88 Formula runs pretty good when it is idling, you can rev it up normally and everything. Once you put it in gear, it won't go over 2k rpms and pops and just runs like crap. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Have you checked the fuel pressure or ohmed the injectors while the engine is warm ?

Sounds like you should check the mass air. Is it throwing any codes?
