![]() Need to know if there are any suggestions on where to look next. My 87 notchback 2.3/T-5 cuts out at 75 and above. Almost like a fuel starvation thing, as soon as I get under 75 (3000 RPM) it stops. I recently replaced the fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. I understand that the cars have had a history of fuel starvation problems, how does one cure it without going to larger lines? Help, help.

![]() I also have an 87 LX notchback 2.3, and mine goes well over 75. Mine is a manual, and I have estimated speeds of 110, estimated cuz the speedometer stops at 85(Darn). Sorry I couldn't help, but just thought you might like to know

![]() I don't know if fuel starvation is your problem. I would check your fuel pressure and possibly your fuel regulator also. If it is fuel starvation you could fix it by buying a bigger fuel pump like a 110lph or something of the sort. Hope I helped.
PS. I suggest buying a fuel pressure guage if you really think it is fuel problems. I would also try a tune up (cap, rotor, and plugs if you have not done so lately. This can solve many of problems. |
