Beats me. I was hoping for some cooked ignition parts. But if it restarts without missing a beat, that can't be it.


3 years on the alternator, 1 year on the starter, 2 years on the plugs and plug wires, brand new rotor, cap is good.

Now on mine on very hot restarts, it sometimes stumbles for a bit. I blame that on injectors flooding the intake after shutdown and the computer chasing its tail for awhile until it clears up.

Does the engine feel healthy around 4500 rpms? Does it hit an early ceiling?


Healthy under hard acceleration up to around 4500 RPM - no early ceiling.

Does the fuel pump give out a healthy hum when you prime it? Have you checked fuel pressure at hot idle?


The fuel pump hums nicely when I prime it. I have not checked the fuel pressure at hot idle - cold fuel pressure is good. This may not be related, but I'm pretty sure the fuel pressure sensor is bad - it spends most of its time maxed out at 80 PSI.

Is your torque converter pulling the engine down too much? What does it idle at in park vs drive with your foot on the brake?


I think it's two or three hundred RPM down from park to drive, but don't hold me to that. I'll check.

Is the brake booster check valve leaking a bit?


I'll check...
