When accelerating, the starts to cut out, and loose power. Also occasionally dies while accelerating. What could the issue be? when hooked up to a code tester, nothing came up. I have kept up with all general needs for the car. its a 91 camaro, with the V6. Is it the E.C.M going bad? any one with a sujestion, would be very helpful. thankyou.

Sounds like low fuel pressure and/or volume causing it to run out of gas when you hit the go pedal. Check the fuel pressure, and pull a line off at the fuel rail and put it in a cup to see if enough is getting through when you crank it. Lots of different possible causes, but that should put you on the right track.
Just as a shot in the dark, have you changed the fuel filter lately?
:cool:

Also On my car I had a simular issue. I forgot to hook up the power the the egr sol and that caused the same problem. So check the egr sol. fuel filter/pressure also sounds like a good plan.

Could be the TPS too. Should be .055v. at idle and something like 4v. at WOT.

i actually just finally got it fixed, turned out that one of the injectors leads had come loose. that inturn ended up causing a short, and ruining the ecm in my car. sucks for me. got it fixed though running fine now. thanx for the advice though.
