Video (Sorry it's sideways! :gapteeth: ): http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t145 ... 45_535.mp4

So after driving for say 20 or 30 minutes, my car doesn't want to rev past 4k while in gear. In addition there's a very noticeable loss in power. In the video, I'm practically flooring third towards the end. You'll see it struggle to reach 4k, and when it does it'll just sit there. I've already done plug and wires and the fuel filter is still pretty new. I'm thinking it's a fuel delivery problem. I can hear a sipping noise coming from around the general area of the fuel rail when the car starts acting up like this. What do you guys think?

Did you get a chance to check the fuel pressure?

I have not actually. Think a new fpr and pump should get rid of this?

Well before you buy both check to see if the fpr is working or not! Then go from there.

I was gonna say check the pressure too, pumps do funny things and its failing under load.
