Exclamation Wont rev past 3.5k Fuel problem. I need help!

This is probably like my 5th thread started on this issue. No one so far has been able to help me. Im kinda looking for shoebox or injuneer to chime in. My car wont rev past 3500 rpm. It is a fuel problem. it drops to 0 at 3500 rpm. I have replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. The lines dont seem to be bent. It idles fine, but like i said i cant rev it past 3500. I really need help on this!

WHat happens when you attempt to rev it over 3.5K? Does it sound like your engine is stalling out?

I see, but does the motor start breaking up?

Maybe its spark related? Coil perhaps?

Sounds to me like you have a clogged catalytic converter.

I vote for ignition... I think if your car was starving of fuel.. on a high RPM... the engien would bog and stall. I've gotton the same dead pedal feel from having a fault in my ignition system. I couldn't get over 4.5 RPMS

Ignition is all good. when engine starts to get the dead pedal, and i have someone spray brake cleaner in the intake the rpms rise.

It is normal except while in park, or under load when u rev past 3.5k the Fuel psi drops to 0. when u release and to back to idle it returns to normal.
