If you go to Autozone, Oreilys or Advance, they can scan your vehicle for free. They usually do not want to hook up a scanner if the "check engine " light is not on. Some systems will accumulate intermittent codes until enough have registered to set a code.There are a few things you can try. It would be helpful to whoever works on the vehicle to know if the 3000RPM limit is present in just the final top gear or if the next lower gear can exceed 3000RPM. Sometimes there are built-in limits for a limp home mode. If you can get more RPM in the next lower gear, then fuel pressure should not be the problem.The Vacuum system is not on the "Check light" system. A loose vacuum hose or bad intake gasket can cause your problem. Use an old spray bottle filled with plain water and go around the gaskets and vacuum lines when the engine is running. If the RPM changes, you have found your leak.There should be a TPS on most vehicles. Ask the parts store if you have one. This device is a resistor that works with the gas pedal. It should be on the opposite side of the accelerator cable hookup. When the butterfly valve moves in the Airhorn, the matching pieces operate the TPS or throttle position sensor.If you unplug the wiring connector and put an ohmmeter on the part(TPS), the ohms will register as you open the throttle. You may have a partially burned out part because the ohms should change all the way through the rotation of the butterfly flap. If you hit a limit before the full rotation, the part is bad and it needs to work to get to the higher RPM.Check your Vacuum first.

Any similar long block will work, just use your intake and accessories.

Here's a link to one of many parts places, complete with a diagram you can use to identify and order the broken part. There are several components to the clutch pedal unit. Study this diagram and see if you can identify the broken piece. Then you can order it, and either take it to a trusted mechanic or do it yourself. Your local auto parts store can order as well.

Probably bad alternator. Ask parts store to test it.

The short answer is yes but it would take a little diagnosis to find out if a transmission could cause the exact problem you are having or if the problem is somewhere other than the trans. If you could describe your issue in detail and possibly why you think it is a trans issue I am sure someone would be able to help you more.

i just had the same exact problems as zeeladys. It was the crank sensor shorting out and causing the short to shut down circuits in the pcm, volt gauge, fuel gauge, no spark. Locate the connector to the crank sensor, it runs beside the distributor, with the key to the on position unplug the connector and see if the gauges come back on. If so, simply replace the crank sensor and ur off and running

it just unbolts. did you look first or post first.?

doubtful to be a fuse , have you checked the trans fluid for quality and quantity , as both could affect the drive from trans , also have the OBD codes read
