16v Cutting Out Above 4K (WOT)

[hombre@elp.rr.com (John Erickson)]

Its on top of the fuel distributor (back side next to the fuel 
filter).  There is a vacuum line that runs from right behind the stock 
battery location to the top of the FPR (it runs form the front of the fuel 
distributor to the back).  Check the vacuum connection right behind the 
battery, too.  They look OK, but as soon as you pull on them they 
disintegrate (acid).
