    When driving or taking off in my 93 300zx n/a I seem to loose some power going thru the gear, even and especially when I'm in 5th gear.. Whats the problem?

    idle will slow way down and sometimes stall out, other times the idle will go very high like 2800 RPM, almost always runs rough, and sometimes the excess gas burning smell trying to start it back up is very strong

No power on exceleration smells like gas hs a hard time pulling hills 94 saturn sohc 1.9

Start by replacing the air filter and checking the operation of the fuel pressure regulator. Have the stored codes read out of your ECU, either by an auto parts store or a local mechanic, in order to ascertain a starting point for diagnosis.

Motor low idle problems

You need a carburator adjustment. I'm guessing it is a 302cid? It's burning too lean
