....truck.
My '95 350 TBI truck seems really slow - I know it's heavy and currently mostly stock but it's a lot slower than I think it should be.
Its got 3.42 rear end, stock diameter tyres.
I noticed the SES light came on last night when I was driving, then went off.
I will be giving it a good service/tune up this weekend. Unfortunately I don't have a code scanner, neither does anyone I know of in the UK.
I pulled the distributor cap and it looks pretty new inside. Rotor arm too. Plug leads also look nearly new. Air filter was good. I changed a vacuum line as it seemed a bit loose but it made no difference.
It does have headers, y-pipe with no cat and a cheap exhaust system which is all 2.5" diameter. The only O2 sensor I can see is just after the merge in the Y pipe.
This weekend I intend to do a full service and have bought:
Fuel filter
Air filter
Spark plugs, leads, distributor cap, rotor arm
TBI service/rebuild kit
New PCV valve and grommets
But is there anything specific I should look at?
