been having problems with my 89 240
around 4500-5000 rpm car feels like it shuts off (no response from throttle) and turns on when rpm drops to 3000 rpm....happens on 3rd,4th, & 5th gear.
plz help

I'm having the same problem with mine, I found that for some strange reason, when it bogs out like that, pushing in the clutch and pressing the throttle a few times brings the fuel back sooner than waiting for the rpms to drop. I still haven't figured this one out though so any info would benefit both of us. Anyone?

i've noticed that just pushing in the clutch and releasing it works w/o tapping the gas pedal.....

beacuse when u push in the clutch and let go the gas the rpms go down and the a/f changes check the voltage on ur tps im tellig u thats ur prob ive had it BTW have u done a 5speed swap to ur car?? my 2 cents

If it was the TPS sensor I dont think it woudl be an RPM thing. The TPS faults out at a position in the throttle. So if you floor it then you would have no power immediatly, or part throttle or wherever it has the open at. Losing power at a specific RPM I think is something different.
