Default Loss of power after hard run

I have a 93 del sol s , stock. Ran against a Pontiac and all of a sudden there was a loss of power or fuel cut off. Feels like driving from a stop on 4th gear. Was like that every gear, until I turned the car off and restarted. What could it be? And I'm grinding in third when Rpms are high.

Maybe your fuel pump is going out. Was it around a general higher rpm you were having these issues?

more detail info and what you have already try to attempt is much needed. i could tell you that it your synchro going bad or your car might be running lean for your loss of power and 3rd gear grinding but i wouldn't be accurate because i didn't witness your problem.

No acceleration basically like it has 10 hp. If I don't run hard like dragging, it runs perfect. But after I street drag it runs like shot until I restart the car.

hmm it could be a issue with the computer adjusting the timing. It could be that your TPS is bad or that you have a grounding issue somewhere.

This, almost 100% certain.
Check your fuel pump first. Then check this.

Multimeter.
You want to check voltage on the TPS all the way from idle to WOT.
Get a repair manual for the car it will have the range you should have on idle and WOT. YOu'll want a smooth increase all the way through.

To check fuel pump you'll need to open the area where it is

For the MAP I believe you're checking resistance on that
