I just got this 245turbo a 83 with a stick last week
after a drive saturday it was running ruff over 3000rpm allmost like rev-limiter was kicking in a that rpm then the GAS GAUAGE droped from about 1/2 full to empty
way too quickly like in two blocks!!!
so I headed to the gas station for a fill up
it clicked off at only 6-7 gal and seemed full on repeated clicks
but now rev's to 6000rpm like it should
after driving kids all around town coming home last night
the 3000rpm limit reappeared at 1/2 tank level
the car run fine below that rpm but just cuts off at 3000rpm
what should I check first????
second?? third???
