well the fuel filter was changed about a year ago. and seems like no problems there....my wires are also about a year old with magnacore wires...and nope my engine wasn't washed recently. could it be a bad fuel pump? or the fuel sending unit?

i think it might be the fpr then, or a leak in the intake system

What about the distributor? In my '88 Volvo (PoS) I had choking problems while cruising, it felt like the clutch slipping. I also had the occasional problem where it wouldn't accelerate past a certain RPM. Turns out the distributor wiper was so bad that the electricity was arcing across the wiper since there was no physical connection.

QUIST: Why do you ask about the washing? Like, if the answer were yes, then what would you propose as the cause of the problem?
