what am i experincing? i'm driving up too gainiesville and its me a zx3 and a gti. ha i couldnt touch the gti hah it was a joke how east he could catch an pass me. the focus hah i left he was gone long ago but he woudl catch up in traffic slow downs. anywho i'm drivng i get a hang at 100 then i hit 110 and it drops right back to 100 its really annoying i didnt get this before cause ive hit a buck 15 before but i was wondering if it was a fuel cut and how do i get rid of it?

What I would have to ask is at what RPM are you seeing this happen? as there is a fuel shut off...but its at approx. 7200 rpm....which is way higer than 110 mph in 5th gear....in fact your car can't even get to redline in 5th gear...its drag limited, unless you were going down one big hairy hill! lol but its possible for you to be hitting this especially in lower gears. THAT is the only true fuel shutoff on our cars.

:bs: there is almost NO way that you could be in FOURTH at 110mph. that sounds like bs.
