my car goes slo until 3000 rpm in every gear when I shift. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem? I just did a tune up my plugs and wires (Bosch Platinum 2 plugs and Bosch wires) I am getting rotor button and cap later.

Try checking your timing also do yourt air, fuel filter(s) and your PCV valve. You also may want to spray clean ther carb or throttle body.
it's the advance of teh ignition timing that makes it go faster after 3000 ! so you can't fix it on a stock car !

check your O2 sensor. i had that problem last month and one of the two was bad
89 LXi coupe, rims, full exaust and tokico suspension, white paintjob with light gray white flames (and white trim)
How long have you been driving it for? Was it faster before, because mine runs fine, and it's always slow till 3K and that might just be the powerband kicking in.
when u mod it its slow till 3k
yeah it stopped for a while....hey RNgray if it was the O2 wouldn't the ECU kick out the code for my check engine light to come on?

If it totally goes yes. i had replaced one a few months ago and when i put my headers on i forgot to rewire the O2 sensors together. the new one was caught in the fan alittle, but the wire must have been broken. the light didn't come on for some reason but my car ran like crap until i hit 3000 then it took off. i switched the sensors and it fixed that problem but made it made it run really erratic so i jsut replaced the sensor for a second time and it fixed it.
Try switching your O2 sensor wires sometimes with headers it happens I had to.
are there two that are in sight when looking down at the header or is it somewhere else

those are the only ones there are. we don't have any after cat sensors.Originally posted by c20v6turbo3rdgen

It is the power band. If you have ever rode a 2 stroke dirtbike you especially know what I'm talking about. My little brother has a older Yamaha dirt bike 2 stroke and if you are not ready for when you hit the power band you will eat crap. If you ever saw a hp and tq curve you can see it. The curve will be nice and smooth then all off sudden it is like you gave it a 60 shot of NOS and will spike. On our cars it isn't as a huge spike in power as it is on those 2 strokes dirt bikes but it is there.
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
