Cut-out Problem?

SentraE · Jul 30th, 2003, 08:57 PM

i as wondering if someone could help figure out a problem. whenever i launch and im running wide open throttle, sometimes it cuts out for like a second and it kicks back on. i was thinking about maybe changing out the plugs but i just did a full tune up on it not to long ago. its not an electrical problem cause nothing dims or anything. it mostly does it midrange in 3rd gear. if some one can help it would be appreciated.

are u redlining it ? ...
... if so you could be hitting the fuel and/or rev limiter.

if not you could have a different problem

isnt that sorta just chokeing it?

He said he gets it mostly at midrange in 3rd gear. There is a fuel cutoff situation for some reason. Can't really tell ya what it exactly is. Its a hesitation of some sort, could be so many things. Check simple stuff first, like air filter, fuel filter etc, and then go on to check if you have clogged injectors. Can't be sure what it exactly is.

its not the rev limiter ,it does every once in a while and mostly midway through 3rd gear a full throttle it happens in 2nd sometimes too but i notice it alot in 3rd

So is it a hesitation, or what?

you no...... now that you mention it i cant remember the last time the fuel filter has been changed. but i evenally planned on redoing the whole fuel delivery system putting in a new fuel pump ,injectors, and a filter. but i want to go with higher flow pump and bigger injectors.
