    I have a 92 Spirit. It has preformed well untill lately, When the
    temperture gets above 30C. the car will not run above an idle and when
    throttle is applied, the car shudders and loses power. When the car is
    cold, say in the morning it runs fine. Any ideas? And if the fuel pump
    is shot, do I have to drop the tank to replace it. 230,000km. Am told
    it is heat induced faliure, sound real?

    I would start by doing the key on/off sequence to see if there are any
    stored codes. This procedure can be found on allpar.com, in the
    diagnostic section.

    Yes. The fuel pump is in the tank, so it has to be emptied and dropped
    in order to replace the pump. Had mine done 3 years ago, and the shop
    chared $230. Half the cost was for the pump itself.

    This sounds familiar. Replace the oxygen sensor.
    Describes exactly the same problem I had on a 92 Shadow, 2.5, auto. The
    computer is trying to lean out the mixture because it thinks its to rich.
    Unfortunately, that gets you nowhere fast.
