problem with 2000 Z28 wont go over 20 MPH
I was driving at about 70 MPH on the freeway and the car started acting like it was out of gass but I had 1/4 tank. I pulled off to the shoulder and put it in park, it idled fine and reved good so I put it in drive and I had to punch it to get going cuz of traffic but the car just boged down and would not go over 20 MPH i stayed on the gas but it died.
If you ease into the gas, it will go faster but if you floor it it dies.
Any idea? I have it at the dealer hope in covered under my extended waranty
Thanks, jason

no light at that time. It was on for a while cuz of a O2 but it has gone off and stayed off for a few days.
Could it be a transmission problem or torque converter?
Hope its not the MAF cuz I have those larger blue MAF ends and I dont have the stock ones.

With the O2 having gone south, it could also be a clogged catalytic converter.

When did you change the fuel filter. Could be that your fuel filter is not flowing enough to get you up to a good speed. Was the o2 code for the front or rear o2s?

Just got a call from the dealer. It was a dirty MAF sensor.
That and my trans mount was broke. I was wondering what banging noise was when I hit the gas.
$17.00 to clean it and $68 to find out it was dirty
I wish I thought about it before I had it towed in cuz my mothers car was doing the same thing and I cleaned hers and it was fin after that. She has a 2000 Celica

my oil pump went out and i was able to go as fast as i wanted but it sounded absolutely HORIBLE. The pump just quit and quit pumping. but im not sure what was making it only go up to 20. all i know is that im getting my whole engine rebuilt adding some more HP into it (: hehe. but yea when that happens you need to get it checked out immediately cause if you wait to long then your engine is screwed! and its just gunna cost up a storm. hopefully you got it fixed
