So I was driving my 2001 Saleen S281 through the mountains of Northern New Mexico today and it was doing fine but then all of the sudden when I was in 3rd gear and rolling on the throttle it started to ... well for lack of a better word "cough". It would pull, fall on its face, pull fall on its face and so on and so forth until I let off the throttle. I found this a little odd, backed off and it cleared up. Anyway, about 15 minutes later coming up a curvy road over a pass it did it again but WAY worse. If I pressed the gas pedal down anymore than just slightly past idle, RPM's and power dropped to damn near nothing. I could press the pedal JUST slightly beyond idle and it got me to the top of the pass where I turned the car off and then tried starting it again. It took it a bit to start but it caught. Any ideas?
I just had the car at Fritz Ford in Riverside and had them completely service it, oil change, brake job, the works. It had been sitting for two years when I got it at the beginning of the summer. Everything was running fine back in Cali though my bro Slapyo said that he thought it did the same thing to him from time to time last time it was up and running. The "newest" car I've worked on in any depth was a 71 Nova SS and a 65 Mustang Fastback so this newfangled computer **** has me stumped. I'm not sure where to start on this thing.
