Hi, I have a LeSabre 1994 runs fine at idle , but when hot it just loses power until I can no longer move even if I floor it. I have disconnected the catalitic converter and it is still the same.


Can someone help me find the problem, Thanks AJ

Fuel filter or pump or clogged intake air or gas cap.

Have the fuel pressure and volume capability checked. Remove the cap from the Schrader valve on the fuel rail to the injectors and test the pressure... should be 45psi when running...


Good Luck
