Okay, if you could please find my prev questions on my pickup truck<<
I have now CHECKED the following!
Fuel pressure, Vacum leaks, Throttle postion sensor, temp sensor, OBD1, ERG valve, Timming, and pretty much everything else! nothing was found to be troubled with any of the prev<<<
My truck still feels very sluggish and stranned at most all rev ranges, and seems to hold gears long, this happened over night about a month ago and my "service engine soon" light comes on intermittenly, i can have the accelerator floored and still be comming up to about 25-35mph, my transmission does not slip, but is does kick shift once in a while and i beleve it's due to the engine running incorrectly i don't understand or know what the HELL to do anymore.
Ask me questions i will reply @ "ADD DETAILS"
Thanks,
"JOe

If your fuel filter was plugged up then you need to pull the fuel tank out to look for dirt in the tank. For a truck with the fuel pump in the tank, you probably have a plastic screen over the tube going to the fuel pump. The fuel pump has to be removed to see this screen. If the screen is also clogged with dirt, your truck would be starving for gas at just about any speed. Put a new screen on if you do pull the tank out.

Did you ever think that the engine may be worn out?That is it lacks in compression.You will need to have both a wet and dry compression test done on the cylinders.A lack of compression can be caused by poor valve seating, carbon built up around valve seats, and or piston rings worn out.Both of these problems can be at the same time.Especially if this vehicle has high mileage.A sure sign will be blue smoke at all times when engine is running.

i think of your headed in the main superb course. The throttle sensor can try this as nicely because of the fact the gas pump. there is likewise a air bypass sensor which will reason this. sturdy success. If it replace into between the sensors there must be a code in the laptop and because you haven't any longer got here upon one it rather is a sturdy wager that it is the gas pump.

You might want to monitor you vacuum while driving and see how much vacuum it generate. compression test is good to do too. How about your exhaust? Is it flowing well? No back pressure?

I would check the computer itself, sometimes they go bad and set off weird lights, sometimes they just run bad.
