    accelleration lag?

    I found a bad coil in my searches so I replaced that, lag was still occurring. I checked the timing and it was fairly advanced so I retarded it, but I forgot to unplug the connector by the fuel pump relay (I had no clue this even existed). since I didn't unplug the connector, I was fighting the...

    accelleration lag?

    I replaced the tps (it was destroyed). I recently rebuilt the engine and transmission so those are new. the timing is not fine tuned so I will do that this weekend. fuel is fine, I know that much. I will check the timing and fine tune it and see what happens. thanks for the list!

    accelleration lag?

    when I accelerate in my truck, only at lower speeds and when engine is warm, there seems to be an "acceleration lag" like symptom. when I press on the gas pedal, the engine drops back down to idle speed and then one or two seconds later the truck rpms are back up and accelerating like I wanted...

    fuel system diagnosis??

    I recently rebuilt the transmission and the engine for my 1990 chevy k1500 (5.7L). She ran great for about 10 miles after I "thought" she was finished. my problem now is that she is not getting any fuel. so rather than just replacing the filter and pump right of the bat like I did last time (I...
