I'm also starting to wonder if it'* my fuel pump.. I'm going to do a fuel pressure test sometime in the next week or so.

When mine did it it would actually give itself more boost and it would have higher rpms at idle. IM guessing thats because that was the only way it could stay alive.

I have had no check engine lights, but one came on about 2 weeks ago for Electronic Spark Circuit. I found low resistance on the primary side on one of the coils which I'm going to replace and see if it fixes. Also, when i hit the gas at WOT, the car pulls fairly strong and about halfway to redline, you can feel the car lose power like i lost a cylinder or something. My car has intake, exhaust, and a pulley and I got murdered by a cavalier Z24 last week that was bone stock.. somethings definitely not right. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? It'* not a clogged cat, since I don't have one.. If I can't figure this out, I'm just going to put the stock pulley back on and put the airbox back in and drive it like an SE. :( Any help is appreciated.
ttt, any updates on your problem? did you find out anything causing your rough idle?
