Car will not run any faster than 2,000 r.p.m. . Engine starts to cut out after 2,000 r.p.m. Ant help would be greatly appreciated.

does it start ---or wont turn over thats contradictory either it starts or dont --as to the wires resplice then if got cut the other part is right there and theirs no such thing as hot wiring thats for the movies

fuel pump relay

check 4 spark at the plugs. Its possible that ur coils were going out and finally just quit. Chk everything b4 messin with ur computer those things can get expensive. hope this helps.

If you are dealing with the anti theft the anti theft will flash as you are trying to start the vehicle if this is the case then it is the anti theft if not then you are not dealing with a ant theft issue. You can do a 30 minute relearn procedure without a scan tool. here is how Turn ignition on without the engine reunning.attempt to start the vehicle then release the key to ON.(vehicle doest start) Observe the security light.afeter 10 minutes the security light will turn off.Turn off the ignition and wait 5 seconds.do this 3 times for 30 minutes. start the engine with the engine started the vehicle will learn the passlock key.

Sir. lets figure what is happening to fixing it
Your car`s battery is loosing it`s charge because it is not charged in proper manners thinking why ? Simply what charges the battery is the alternator after the car is running it the engine drive the alternator ant different speeds when alternator is revving faster with faster engine revs it produce lots of electric that the battery may don`t need and could harm the battery
when revving low the alternator my generate less than 12 voltage
the alternator is need something called the Regulators witch as name suggests regulates the voltage generated adjust it to constant limit that the car needs to work fine
alternator belt and pulley
have a good day Sir .
we are happy helping you any time

Hello,

I am assuming this has the 3.0L V6.
Is the check engine light on? I think it probably is. If yes, then have the trouble codes read and report them back here for help with your diagnosis.
My initial thoughts would be:
1. Catalytic converters plugged up (if you have an engine code reporting O2 sensor bank issues).
2. Cam shaft synchronizer (especially if you're hearing squeaking from the top of the engine on the drivers side down near the thermostat).
3. EGR Valve / IAC Valve
Finally; just a regular tune-up.

My money is on the Catalytic converters needing to be replaced, however please report back with trouble codes.

Best regards,

Yes it will help car run better. Take off any hose that goes to card so that you can see down throttle bore. Start car. Grab throttle linkage and figure out how to move it so that you can make the engine go faster. Begine to spray inside throttle body using little red hose that came with carb cleaner. While you are spraying the engine will try to cut out move the throttle linkage to speed up the engine so it won't cut out. Keep spraying all around inside and outside throttle bore.

Sounds like o2 sencers or cad. converter.

sounds like the fuel pump in youre fuel tank at fault try hitting the tank whilst someone cranks the engine ensure its in neutral and cant roll away if it then starts you will need a new pump

Since this is an intermittent problem, first try to determine if the problem arises due to one of these many intermittent problems:

* Vehicle vibration
* Heat sensitive
* Freezing
* Water intrusion
* Electrical load
* Cold or hot start up

If you can't isolate the cause of the intermittent problem, you can try adjusting the Idle Speed/Ignition Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio:

Idle Speed/Ignition Timing/Idle Mixture Ratio Adjustment

PREPARATION
1) Make sure that the following parts are in good order.

* Battery
* Ignition system
* Engine oil and coolant levels
* Fuses
* ECM harness connector
* Vacuum hoses
* Air intake system
* (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
* Fuel pressure
* Engine compression
* EGR valve operation (If so equipped)
* Throttle valve
* Evaporative emission system

2) On air conditioner equipped models, checks should be carried out while the air conditioner is OFF.
3) On automatic transmission equipped models, when checking idle rpm, ignition timing and mixture ratio,
checks should be carried out while shift lever is in “N” position.
4) When measuring “CO” percentage, insert probe more than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
5) Turn off headlamps, heater blower, rear defogger.
6) Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
7) Make the check after the cooling fan has stopped.
