Background: I have had this 90 sho for about a year now. the car always bogged from about 800-3000 rpm i was never able to figure out what it was from i tried replacing everything spark plugs wires everything. i could never get it to not bog. anyway the car also at times when you started it would immediately go to 600 rpms and jump between 600-700 rpms rapidly. you could sit there and watch it for a while. then when you hit the throttle once it would go away.

The current problem. going to my parents house last night while i was entering the freeway I felt a jolt like the engine wanted to die. i thought it was weird. It happened a few more times. a random jolt or 2, almost like the car wanted to die. then it got worse and i saw the check engine light flash when it did it. it went away again. leaving i didn't notice the problem. it definately had something to do with the load on the car whenever i clutched it the engine would save itself. I went out for a ride later that night too get gass i got a full tank and tried to leave this time the problem wouldn't go away. maybe the car was heavyier? i tried to leave the gas station my foot had to stay on the clutch to keep it alive then i tried to shift too second big mistake. the car violently shoock between 4000-5000rpms i was thinking maybe if i could get it too a certain speed it would even offf and stop jumping. then the engine completely shut down. i hope you guys have some ideas. i know the first thing will be check the codes. i've never been able to make the koer work it always sends the code did not receive goose test. the koeo test return 1 1 good but had 1 4(Ignition pickup was erratic?) stored. i don't know what to do the problem was pretty random any speed. but now the thing won't start i crank and crank and it won't start.i tried flooring the gas in case it was flooded but it still wouldn't start. any ideas please, thank you!!

I pulled a spark plug off the front bank and checked for spark. I did have spark. does this mean the DIS is OK and the coil pack and all that stuff.I'm thinking fuel pump. but i don't know how those normally go out. it wasn't sputtering. it just would go with a load. i gave it a full tank of gas does that affect a problem with the fuel pump. any ideas please guys!!
