Re: cutting out really bad...

["Casey Webster" <tinfool@home.com>]

I would suggest changing your fuel filter for sure, but also your cap and
rotor. I had this problem when I first bought my black roc after it had been
sitting for 2 years.  I changed these 3 things and the cutting out went away
completely.

It cuts out mostly in 2nd and 3rd gear, and usually when you try to hammer
the gas pedal right??  :o)
