The guys from Autozone couldn't pull a code for you? They do that service for free.

I already took the car to autozone, no codes came up then.. I had a tps code come up when I drove it hard.. but did the keydance.

Just took the car in finally to a shop, they ran a bunch of tests on it. Its not a blown engine or the transmission. They pinned it to be an external electrical problem. Good news for me, but want to check it out for 70 an hour. I am pretty sure I don't want to sit there and check every wire on the car.

I just scheduled some one to go over it... They specialize in electrical, they seem better than the transmission place but he can't look at it till jan 2nd.

They are going to check the fuel pump first, so its a compromise, I am still taking my car in but if I am right by telling them to look there, it will cost me less.

I was going to take it in to a shop, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I changed my mind, typical woman!! Decided to go with my gut that its the fuel pump. I am convinced thats it, with out doing any tests on the lines or anything.


venge has a great little hatch to the pump in the back seat.. it was soo easy!

went through some residential ... then blew it up on the high way.. I know I am gitty ...

Its fixed!! it was the pump!! I got to here my borla finally sounds good again with the power it should.. and oohhh the little bbbrrjrjr when you hit the 60s.

lol thanks for listening.. hehehehe teehee I am estatic!

thanks for the suggestions and helping me work through this!
