I just replaced plugs wires distributer cap and rotor and pcv valve and hose. It drives fine for about 3 minutes and then it looses all power and I can't get out of 2nd gear. It idles fine all day long. The guy I bought it from said he put a new tank and pump on it. I'm running out of ideas

 

Did he change the high pressure pump and the filter too?

 

I don't think so. I had a buddy suggest that as well I will be checking it tomorrow. Thanks for the help

 

Every time I have seen these symptoms its been the pump. A simple test is to plug off the fuel return line. If it runs better then it is the pump. I have had brand new out of the box Airtex do exactly this. Will never knowing use there product again.
