anybody realize power loss at take off?

[drowndindreams]

Lately I have been realizing that there has been a significant amount of power loss, or acceleration problems at take off. If I'm looking at a tune up, what should I be tuning up? What other things can I take a look at that have to do with the acceleration?

Thanks TYFers

clogging fuel filter? How many miles on truck? Stock wires, plugs, fuel filter?

Is this a recent change?

AC Delco plugs put in at around 120-140K (now at 172K), replaced wires with them,


but the fuel filter was recently replaced by a used but newer same model - figured I'd save the money. Think that'd be it?

I've noticed it very recently, within 3 or 4 weeks I'd say.

i am alos experiencing lets say a "loss of balls" lately , going to try a standrad tune up with a fuel filter hopefully that helps. even though the last tune up was in may 09 7,000 miles ago (acdelco plugs , new wires(kind of cheap), car and rotor )

Do not skimp on the wires. I have seen first hand what cheap wires can do. Replace the PCV valve too. Clean out the TB and check the EGR valve.

i know for sure my egr is ****** . i drive around with it unplugged. it you leave it pluggged in it runs like it has a cam at 1500 - 2000, but unplugged it wasnt too bad . now it is slow as shit. it is a 95 so no tune for me.

Used Fuel Filter....are you ***** serious? Things are less then $20 bux. A clogged up fuel filter will cause your fuel pump to burn out and you'll be out mucho money for fuel pump and labor!

Fastchip. You can get your EGR tuned out.

LoL used fuel filter, wtf?! They're around $12. I change mine out every 15K just for preventative maintenance. But they should be done at least every 60K miles.

 

[blueflamed03]

yep, pre 96 models can have Ed Wright do a chip burn, huge gains still to be had.

 

[drowndindreams]

definitely going to change my fuel filter tomorrow.thanks guys

 

[blueflamed03]

cool, let us know if that fixes it.

 

[black95]

i want the fast chip. but doesnt the egr limit the heat of the exhaust so it doesnt go over 1000degrees fahrenheit, so what would i sacrifice tuning it out?

 

[blueflamed03]

Leave it up to Ed, he's semi local to me, been doing this for years, and is an avid racer. So he knows how to tune the pre 96's.
