Question 99 SS problems...any awnsers or ideas

I have a 99 SS 4 speed when i get to high rpms in second gear the car cuts out really bad, then dies. Sometimes it wont even cut out, it will just die. I have replaced 2 new o2 sensors new shift solenoids, and no misfires. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS?!?!?!?!?

You wrecked your car between your last two posts? thats 4 minutes, dang that sucks. Maybe when you are getting it fixed you can have a shop do a full diagnostic scan on it.

Did you run outside, drive down the road, wreck it, and get it back in 4 mins. And when you got back the first thing you did was post?

But good luck with the car cutting out...

Sorry to hear about your wreck!!

I thought I might point out that you have two extra gears your not using. Maybe that is part of the problem???

Fuel filter, fuel pump, bad gas also might be the problem.

Also are you above 6000 rpm's?? you will hit the rev limiter and that will kill it

digital laptop as opposed to the cheaper analog variety?

And after you hit the guy, you proceeded to open up this digital masterpiece and post just how bad you ***'d up your car
