ok so i was going to work yesterday and suddenly i had no power at first i thought it was a bad coil pack but they all work fine. it will accelerate but only do it well when it is already in the final gears. i had a problem like this when my brakes locked up but i had my front brakes completely replaced so i don't think it would be them again please help im am going to college in January and cant afford to take it to the shop if any one has an idea or could help in any way please do so

Sounds like you TCC "Torque Converter Clutch" may be sticking and needs to be replaced. I think there is the wiring harness going into the top of bell housing. I'm not sure how easy this is to replace, but it may be worth taking to a Transmission shop to see what they think

Jumped the gun, Check your Fuel Presure Regulator first, this is simple to replace just release the presure before you chenge it out.

i went out and checked it i cant get the car to got above 3000 rpm with the pedal floored

i will check the fuel pressure regulator thanks for the info

How does the car run? Is it fairly smooth? If so, I would check for air filter restrictions. If the air filter is good, then check the catalytic converter <when the car is cold, hit it with a rubber mallet to see if it rattles>. The reason I ask is because if it is ignition related, that usually causes an uneven firing, which will make stuff shake. If it is fuel related, it usually makes the car chug or cough. The only other thing would be perhaps a timing issue, but I think the computer would have figured something out by now and thrown a Service Engine Soon light.

Not going over 3000 RPM suggests to me it'* in limp home mode. have the car scanned for any codes. Some codes do not trigger a light.

Did they have a limp home mode in '92?

You know what? I don't recall. But it sure seems like that'* what is going on. The only other thing I can think of right now is a clogged exhaust.

damn that is really what i was afraid of was a bad cat so i was trying to ignore the fact that it could be that and the air filter is brand new. so the cat will rattle if it is bad? hell i may just go ahead and get the magnaflow exhaust if i gotta cut the exhaust to get to the cat
