motor cutts out @3800rpm please help!!

has okay power til 3800 than seems like it starts dragging on something it had been sitting for a few years or so, i think before me. i changed plugs and wires, fuel filter, and air filter. was thinking cat next if i am correct what would be the best to do? this car also is not a vehicle that needs to pass any state inspection at all so. . .

Not an uncommon problem. Repair your grounds.

Search for "3800 RPM Hesitation".

Your cats could be clogged aside from the "3,800 rpm hesidtation". You can find an answer to that in the FAQ.

To answer the cat question you'll have to go to a muffler shop and ask them to check them out for you. Mine did the same thing and i got the cats replaced ($200 ugh won't replace precats ever again. test pipe to main cat next time) and it ran just fine afterwords.

so i put a system in my car and just pretty much drove it more and it seems to go away sometimes cold or hot doesn't matter and am not sure where all the grounds are and my thread counts not enough to veiw any pics or anything lol so i was wondering if any agreed that made sense and/or could help in some way i have read many threads and haven't really found enough info on how to fix anyone?like locations of such grounds etc. . . .

The problem is with your secondary fuel injectors which kick on at 3800rpm. Either they are dirty, not getting power, leaking beyond control, or all the above.

Take em out, get em cleaned. www.injector.com
Make sure youve got good wiring.

Fix your grounds. The problem is not the size of your injectors, but if/when they fire up.

Either your resistor pack is fubar (if you have one), your grounds are bad (the one under the intake most likely) or your secondary injectors are jammed/broke. Take them out and have them cleaned and flow tested. Otherwise, just buy some usedones off the for sale section here. I even think I have some.

Spec.
