[s-cars] RE: Sport Quattro Engine cut off at 4000 rpm

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

King of France-
Sounds like it might be choking for fuel, leaning out
and going into limp mode?  Due to my nontechnical
grasp of the situation, here's my suggestion.  Clean
out/replace the injectors, FPR, MAF, etc.  Hook up an
a/f meter to see what's going on and when it is
happening.  Or you can just pull a CO mafia thing and
get huge injectors and a huge FPR and hope the piston
rings last long enough from running rich.

But then again, what the hell do I know?  I'm just a
dumb guinea.
