DSM Forums is a good place, don't knock it man.

Also, how is your fuel pump doing? If the car hasn't had a tune up in like 5 years then well, duh!

I had that same problem with my 90 N/T... just out of couriosity does it have an aftermarket alarm?

That was the source of my problem, there are some wires under the dash that come loose over time....

Mine worked untill it acted up... it would short out the ignition source! Would be cruising around then all of a sudden DEAD!

Oh, the DSM days! (I have had 3 of them! )

its not a tune up.when its running it runs perfectly fine no misses no hesitation hits around 3500 or higher and dies,push clutch in let it back out while still in gear and comes back on.im gonna pull the alarm out and see what happens cause when the alarm took a **** this started happening i think.well see.

Well i searched on tuners like you should have and found out just what i thought....Its a sumwhat common problem thats is traced back to either bad/wrong gap plugs or bad plug wires or bad coils, Once again do a complete tune up, Oil, Fuel filter, Plugs and wires, Then check back i bet it will be gone.

im telling you its not tune up!!!!!!!!!!!!i know what happens when its a tune up issue.plus i pulled the plugs out and they look good so im assuming they were changed not to long ago.oils good and that would not cause the issue..lolcoils i can agree that might be the issue but ill check them with a ohm reader.wires are probably **** but still not cause of issue.**** wires will cause misfires which it doesnt do!!!

try a DSM Link, I heard these engine management systems work great for 1Gs and 2Gs.
