Default It cuts if i push strong!!

Hello my name is tomi

I live in spain and i own a C4 corvette from 1989

The car after some repairs as a rebuilt automatic transmission, a front suspension, rotor an distribuitor, know shows the "service engine soon" code 36, i ve changed the MAF, but the light still shine, y have order a new conectors and replys to try to solve it

But the main problem is that the car goes nice if i press the acelerator slowly.... It goes ok... And goes fine. But if i press strong the acelerador to the floor... The car begins to run... Ok... But suddenly it cuts the powet it is like it couldnt run! ....i post you a link of a video of the problem

Video link doesn't work! (I'm on my phone though)

I would check basic stuff first - fuel filter would be my first stop. Sounds like you're not getting enough fuel or the MAF code is altering the air fuel tables into "limp home mode"

Do you have good spark or just marginal? Fuel pressure?
