We tried all of the above. We put new plugs, wires, distributor cap andcoil but still no luck. We have noticed access liquid coming out of the tail pipe. Do you think having the car put on one of the diagnostic machines like at Autozone would help us in finding out the problem. I hate to trash the vehicle It runs fine until you get to about 50 miles per hour and that is it. It will not go any faster

Try regrounding the MAF and checking TPS. Your cat could be clogged as well. You sure it is firing on all cylinders?

Can you tell me a websight to find out where the TPS is located. Would a book on the 1984 Sentra tell me. I could buy a book I guess. We have a 1993 Sentra and my husband has been taking the parts off it and putting them on the 1984 so far the parts have fit. He was going to try changing out the TPA tonight and see if that would work.

I guess I should of asked the first post, what kind of sentra is this we are talking about? There are also some FAQ I posted in the main page for 200sx/sentra/G20. You might want to read over them. Most questions asked are already answered there.
