Have you changed your fuel filter lately? Air cleaner clean? Tuned up lately?

Your 11 years old? Lol...

Had that problem with my yukon and turned out to be my fuel pump.

describe "does not respond?"

Doesnt rev? slow to rev?

sounds like plugged fuel filter.
Clogged cats?
etc.

i had the same issue when i had my 02hoe.
it use to spin the tires at a red light when i floored it, then over time it kept loosing a step.
had a fresh tune up with plat plugs, new plug wires, sea foamed, maf cleaned, changed the fuel pump, filter and had a spectra on it... didnt change acceleration wise though
never thought about the cat though... i did have 204k miles on it with the original cat...
clogged cat, you might be right there Tracy

How do you fix a "clogged cat" or do you replace it?

How do you fix a "clogged cat" or do you replace it?

has to be replaced. depending on where you live and how emissions are or if there's emissions you may be able to do a straight pipe but a Magnaflow cat locally here in atlanta is about $70 plus labor.
