I have an 87 gn. Car was running really wierd. floor it and it would take off,then fall on its face, then take off again. If you creeped into throttle untill about 3500 rpms then hammered it, it would run great. Now it starts, runs wide open without touching the throttle for about a second or two, then dies. I put a new computer and chip in it. It didn't fix problem. Someone told me it may be the coolant temp sensor, so I replaced it and it still does the same thing.any ideas?
Thanks Tyson
