    Strange power loss problem when cruising

    OK...I not only cleaned the MAF (on both SHO's), I switched the whole unit around from my good-running SHO to this one. Still has the same problem. I'm pretty darn sure it can't be spark related (unless two cylinders are cutting out), and I'm betting it's fuel delivery. So...I'll try the...

    Strange power loss problem when cruising

    Stevetatro, Same problem with mine when it starts while cold...if I'm stupid enough to go out to a highway before it warms up fully, forget it. I'm dogging with no power. As soon as it warms up, full power returns. Very strange. I'm still having that same loss of power at highway speeds. Changed...

    Strange power loss problem when cruising

    Okay...I may be an aerospace engineer, but, without a service manual - I'm lost. Where exactly IS the fuel pressure regulator - heck - I might just as well replace that, as well. Thanks again... Frank

    Strange power loss problem when cruising

    I have to join in on this post and the same problem. I've got a 94 ATX with the identical problem. Mine only happens when I'm climbing any type of a grade, though. Riding at any highway speed, once climbing a hill (ANY degree vs. flat), the car looses power. Stepping further onto the accelerator...

    Need help on replacing Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    Okay SHO Guru's...I've checked all the postings on this Oil Pressure Sending Unit...but, how in the world do you get to it to replace it on an ATX? I've had it up on the lift while putting on a nice Borla SS Cat-back entire exhaust and mufflers, and, there just doesn't seem to be any way to...

    Oil Leaks

    Okay, I searched through every post I could find on this Oil Pressure Sending unit leaking issue...so...HOW exactly do you get to it to replace it??? My SHO is an ATX, and even with it up in the air on a lift, yesterday, there didn't seem to be any way to physically get your hand and/or a wrench...

    Same old bogging down problem...

    Hey SHO Gurus...I've asked this question in the past, and never could find out what the problem was, even after extensively checking all the posting history - here goes. My 94 SHO ATX is bogging down when I'm at 60 to 65 mph and climbing any grade (i.e. a hill or highway slope). It drops down...

    2 Identical SHO's and 2 different temps!

    Actually, I'll have two sets of gutted CATs. Out of curiosity, I checked my other SHO...same thing. CATs were wacked, so I'll be replacing both sets of CATs here shortly. For now, there's just two flex pipes in until I can order two sets of Y-pipes from SHOBros... Frank

    ATX rpm limiter???

    Plenty of gas, definitely, and even a new fuel filter and fuel pump. I've thought about the "loose wire" part...but...which one and where would it be located to drag an engine down as significantly as this is doing - and - only when going uphill, i.e. at a steeper angle??? Me thinkest it's about...

    ATX rpm limiter???

    Well...here's what's happening with this 94 ATX SHO - This car runs great, when it's on flat level ground. WOT and she runs strong. Start climbing any grade, i.e. a hill on the highway (which are all over the place up in Pennsylvania) and right around 3000 RPM, it "boggs" down, bad. Ever drive...

    ATX rpm limiter???

    Hello again, guru's. Strange problem, with a strange question. I remember reading somewhere in the forum about the ATX SHO's having an rpm limiter when the trani is in PARK. Something about the torque converter not letting the rpms get above 3000. My problem, which I have brought up before in...

    2 Identical SHO's and 2 different temps!

    WOW! I decided to do the "what the heck" side of the equation and replace the CATs as I was pretty darn sure they were bad...sure enough - they were toast. All the guts were blown back towards the outlet pipe and clogging everything up pretty darn good. Glad you suggested the CAT's because I...

    2 Identical SHO's and 2 different temps!

    Thanks for the input. What gets me on this - the FLUCTUATION on car#1 (the one seemingly running hotter). I'm not kidding...take it out for a long drive on the highway, and start climbing hills, and the guage is nearly always riding on the "N" in normal...then start coasting at 65 mph and/or...

    2 Identical SHO's and 2 different temps!

    Hello again, SHO gurus. Briefly, I have a strange problem. I have two 94 ATX SHO's. Virtually identical. I've gone over both of them and replaced the thermostats, upper and lower hoses, temperature sensors (both of them), flushed each one's coolant system, refilled each with the proper mix of...

    Help with thermostat housing bolt

    Hello SHO Guru's! Got a quick question that I am hoping someone can help me with. I was doing a routine thermostat change and flushing the cooling system - anyway...through either down-right negligence, or just a worn out bolt, the top bolt holding the thermostat housing sheared off while I was...
