I have a 92 S13. It’s been sitting for a week due to a cracked power steering line. Finally got it in, replaced it, took the car for a spin and now my engine is cutting out. When I’m accelerating everything is fine. When I cruise at one speed (60, 80, 100) the engine bogs. I pressed the gas down alittle and nothing. It’s only when I put the pedal to the floor it kicks in again and takes off. ---

I took it for another run today. It was fine for about 10 kms at 90 km/h.Then started to act up again. It’s doing it at all speeds 100 - 40km/h. what happens for example is, cruising at 60 and the engine bogs down. Real bad cut in power.The car starts to spit and sputter and the gas pedal becomes heavy. I have about a half inch of play in the pedal where it feels like this. Then when I put it down over that the car takes off again accelerating. It’s fine accelerating takes right off no problem. Just when I level it back off it starts to act up again. Any help would be appreciated. ---

sounds like the potential to be a TPS issue. ---

Changed the TPS and it’s still doing the same thing. Also changed fuel filter but it wasn’t that either. ---

I had the exact same problem it came up at the Bings meet on the way home then went away. I took it to Nissan and they ran it on the computer they said everything was perfect but they did say the MAF Sensor was giving the correct signal but a lower voltage then stock. So First thing grab a new MAF Sensor from a wrecker and see if that fixes it. its easy and cheep if you have a KA. and PM me if it works for you because if not then e are both in the same boat. To help out a bit its not the Fuel filter, or spark plugs. cos all of mine are bran new. ---

Figured it out and the car runs like a champ again. Turns out I’m a idiot, and it was a spark plug wire. Thanks for all the help guys
