I'm thinking it jumped time and I need to change the timing belt but....... I have not changed the timing belt since I've owned the car and I've got 75,000 miles and I'm not sure if the previous owner had it changed either. Has anyone had this problem? Like I said it was runnig fine until I did the Full Throttle passing manuever and then it just fell flat on it's face.
Sounds like it is fuel, Filter, pump, pump resister or the fuel reg is stuck open. I would check in this area.
