Please help with my lacking power in my 97 5peed
i notice my speedmometer will stop working sometime and if i go WOT throttle while it isnt working, itll feel like the car wont pick up at all after 3000 rpm. it doesnt stumble or jerk when i do it it just feels like the car doesnt want to pull after that rpm range like its an old lady or something. any ideas before i try replacing the VSS

Knock sensors tend to fail on these cars and will kill your timing because the failed sensor is telling your ECU that you are knocking or pinging (even though you aren't) so the ECU retards the timing to protect your motor.

still havent figured out the problem..the gauge cluster kicks in after the car warms up...when the car is warming up , the car is at maximum power...after it warms up it looses its pull after 3000 rpm...the afc is reading that its at WOT when i floor it but it feels like im only doing 25% throttle after 3000 rpm...anymore ideas?
