hey guys, got a question for ya. Just bought an 86 p-type 5spd and i'm having engine problems. At first i thought it was a misfire at 5,000, but after driving it around i came to believe that the engine was just shutting off at around 5,000 rpms. When it hits 5, it would slam me forward, seems almost like a rev limiter. I took it to a friend of mine to do a tune up, he cleaned the injectors, new ngk plugs and looked over the car. He put it up on the scope and revved it to 5 grand and she starts to lean out really badly and the engine just cuts off. The catalytic converter also gets extremely hot and starts smoking around 5 also. The engine light does come on, but only when you rev and goes out immediately, and does NOT throw a code. So we got to thinking that the ecu is screwed up.
any thoughts on this and any suggestions as to what to do or where to get a fairly cheap ecu?
