It wont restart until I have turned off the ingnition, remove the key, turn on the alarm, turn it off and then try again. So I initially thought that the alarm was playing tricks on me. So I checked the alarm - bypassed it, and the engine still stalls above 2500 RPM. If I kick the accelerator hard, I can rev it to redline, and the it cuts out.
Symptoms:
Above 2500 RPM, the rev-meter drops instantly and the engine just dies and cannot be restarted until some time have passed or the alarm have been cycled on/off. The starter always turns.
So what's up?
I've read a bit on the subject and I've found that alot of people with different cars (model/make), have had problems with stalling at exactly 2500 RPM, due to VAF malfunction or problems with clogged fuel-filter, clogged fuel-pump or the fuel-regulator acting up. So I'm checking that, as soon as I can.
I started with the VAF - thought it would be the easiest thing to start with (yeah - I'm as lazy as they get

Tomorrow I gonna' reconnect the intake to see if it solved all my problems and then pull my codes to see if I've missed anything since the last time. Also, I already have a disti-cap and rotor on the shelf, so I'll change those as well as alot of people in here point to the distributor and coils and such. I will replace the fuel-filter as well if it continues to act up.
I would very much like to know if anybody have any other input? Could the problem be somewhere else? Have anybody else experienced trouble like this and what was the solution to your problems?
