When driving when I exceed 60 mph the engine starts running intermittent like it is running out of fuel. When I pump on gas pedal fast the car will go into passing gear but the car will slow down.

I replaced the engine belt. I found one of the pulleys messed up and had to replace it also.

You have not mentioned the mileage nor your service record, so here goes.
Three things to try.
1) When did you last change your fuel filter? The symptoms sound like a plugged up filter.
If left untreated, the speed at which it acts up will begin to go down slowly. ( For example, next month it may only run 55.)
2) Have a garage check your fuel pump pressure with a meter.
This part might be failing.
3) Perhaps an obstruction in your fuel tank or the fuel pick-up inside the tank.
God bless your efforts.

SOURCE: (1995 Cadillac Eldorado) - Service Engine Soon light is on.

If this problem just started I would try to get a jump on it. It will be easier to track down if the light just started coming on. Otherwise other problems may come into play and the mechanic will need longer to sort them out. At around 70.00hr.Cheapest fix is to try and drop in a set of plugs. Good luck.

Check for a clogged fuel filter. A clog could cause a pump to fail.

SOURCE: Car bogs down when given gas.

Hi there,
This problem is most commonly caused by a weak fuel pump. It will need to be checked with a fuel pressure guage. If you can obtain a fuel pressure guage you will need to observe the fuel pressure while accellerating to see if it drops out.
good luck

2000 blazer runs rough and dies when gas pedal pushed to floor.

I agree with Peter on this one. Sounds like low fuel pressure. First thing is to be sure that you have around 55-60 psi when you turn the key on and running should be around 55. If the pressure drops much below these no.'s the fuel pump may need to be changed. Don't forget to check and/or change the fuel filter also.

My 98 Toyota Camry V6 LE has 120,000 miles on it and runs great. However, lately I have noticed it sputters ever so slightly on the highway. right about 60 MPH. If coasting or accelerating it is fine. ...

Being that you have a 1998 Toyota Camry, these cars are fuel injected and shouldnt need the gas pedal depressed to feed fuel to your engine. It's possible you may have a dirty fuel pump or dirty injectors. Here are some possible steps (cheapest in $) so follow these in order to spend less money.
- Run some Lucas Fuel System Cleaner (green cap bottle), do two treatments of that in your gas tank and see if that makes a difference. Dirty lines and clogged injectors are caused by cheap gas and or constantly running on Empty thus allowing fuel pump to pick up sediment from bottom of gas tank.
- Sputtering could also be worn spark plugs (too big of a gap) and or faulty spark plug wires or both.
-Timing chain issues usually occur if you hear a constant vibration near the top of the engine.
-Transmission issues would be having trouble putting the car in certain gears, or the transmission stick does not sit in gear properly (slippage).

Just some suggestions that may help with your problem.
