    anyone got a clue??

    what would make a car seem like it's losing power after you get into the throttle?? car runs and idles fine,but once car is moving and you push the thottle down it seems like it wants to pickup but doesn't.. i checked all the plugs and wires,cleaned the thottlebody and mass air..

    anyone got a clue?

    thx in advance

    vacuum leak somewhere??? some leaks will idle fine until you get into it and create more pressure.

    could be bad gas. a few years ago i let mine sit a few months and it ended up from the cold and warm in the garage making condensation in my tank and had about 1/3 tank of water too.

    Yep, I just did one. No engine light but the meter did go bad. So, now I have a junk meter in my garage. HAHAHAHHA I put the good one in the car I was working on.
