I have 38 PSI fuel pressure. I cleaned the IAC valve which cured my idle issue, and did the re-learn procedure, it will idle fine, no probs when stopping. ANYONE have a guess or similar experience? I know these cars have injector probs, but it wouldnt make sense that only at full throttle it dies out. I am going to do the ohms test on the injectors later on to rule those out, but just looking for some advice in advance! thanks

It may have something to do with built in over rev protections or a throttle governor. Or you may not have enough fuel flow to make it work at high engine speeds.
