Car starts fine, idols fine, and runs fine EXCEPT when I drive over 2000
rpm's. If I accelerate slowly all is ok until I reach 60+ mph (2000 rpm).
If I accelerate quickly it shifts gears until I hit 2000 rpm's. Both cases
the car sputters and I have to decelerate. I thinking it is the fuel pump,
but again the problem is only at 2000 rpm. Any ideas?

Seems I have heard that could be the mass airflow sensor. Good Luck

One time I drove away with my MAF unplugged and it had similar symptoms.
But a failing MAF sensor might be different. Any CEL codes?

Try replacing the pressurized gas cap. Get the correct one - mine said
"pre-vented." Made my 92 SE stop all that rough running immediately. See my

Does your CEL light up and go away properly when you start the car?

Yes, they light up when I'm starting the car, but they go off as normal

Jeff,
I don't think it's the gas cap, though that's where I think the problem
started. I filled up with gas and left the gas cap off. I rode about two
miles and noticed the open gas compartment door. I pulled over and put the
gas cap on while the car was running.
I now still have the vaccum sound when I open the gas cap, but car still
sputters at 2000 rpm's and car will not go over 60 mph. I have no warning
lights and I still get 400 miles on a tank of gas (not leaking gas.
Any other idea's?
