Thats just the thing its not rising at all its just goes down when the RPM's go up, and now i am stumped here's what i have done-
replaced fuel filter " spark plugs (all gapped at correctly, i checked 3 times) " spark plug wires " front o2 sensor " new computer less than 1,000 miles ago " replaced cat with a test pipe " ignition coil " Fuel pressure regulator Just as a side note all the vacuum hoses are silicone and are hooked up (i doubled checked) no wires are melted or shorting out(i checked twice) I am not getting any CEL, and no fuel line is pinched or ruptured, and as you can see it's starting to get expensive, i am stumped!!!

how many miles are on the car? It could be the fuel pump but check w/ an ohm meter while running the rpms up. you may have a drop in power under load. If that is it replace the ground wire with a thicker gauge wire. If this doesnt help I really still cant tell you its the pump, but your really running out of things to change so you can bite the bullit and change that too:thumbsup what the hell its just money right.....right:-)
