Hi everyone,

I have a stock 89 GT with the 302 5 speed manual trans. Yesterday I noticed a big problem that I believe is engine and not transmission related:

In any gear, if I "floor it" there is a major hesistation or "bog" in the throttle. To the point where the car almost kills. I can gradually accelerate with out this power loss, but not if the the pedal is down. What is going on? At first I thought that there might be a fuel pump issue, but if the transmission is in neutral, the is no hesistation with throttle.

Any suggestions??
