i washed the inside of my truck out (88 pickup 4x4). and now it wont rev over 3000 rpm… it hits a limiter or something. it revs up normal riight to 3G and then bounces just like fuel cut. doesn anyone know much about these retarded little 8 spark plug motors ? it would be nice if i could save it for a bit before i put something else in it.

That sounds like a typical safety mode when your MAF becomes unplugged. Is this vehicle MAF equipped? If so, check the connection. (and clean the contacts if necessary).

haha, no it doesnt even run! the problem is now i have no spark, but there are no ingition fuses or relays or anything that i can find in the fuse panel… so WTF? im currently looking at fsms to see if i can find the weak link in the ingnition system
