Default Car Problem (Wont Accelerate)

Sorry im not a DSM guy so I might sound like an idiot. LOL

I have a 92 Talon TSi that is having a very odd problem.

When you first start it up it wont rev past 2K RPM when you push the gas it just surges up and down between 1K-2K.

However sometimes it will let you rev past. It seems very intermiten. Also when you are driving if you dont keep the RPM above 4.5K the car will stahl then kick back on then stahl.

Any ideas??? If you need more details please ask.

- Mike

Already changed teh wires and plugs. Also I dont think its a boost leak because the car will run perfectly fine for hours then start doing it again.

To me it sounds like a bad boost leak or something came loose in your mas wiring.
