Default I need your help guys....

I put this thread in this section because I think I have a fuel issue. Recently I have been having a problem with my car running really wierd at low rpms. It feels as if the car is sputtering and shuttering. Sometimes it is worse than others and sometimes it doesnt do it at all. When I press the gas really hard it loads up and goes good but at stoplights when I pull away I am just waiting for it to blow up. It bugs the hell out of me becasue there are no check engine lights or anything close to that. I wish it would just blow up but until then I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

I would check the fuel pressure, Harbor freight sells a fuel pressure checker for about $20-change the fuel filter first and the fuel test port is right on the front of the fuel rail. Mild LS engines really don't have many fuel issues that can't be resolved with the filter or pump. The pump is not a hard job but it is time consuming. My fuel pump bit the dust in Barstow CA. coming from Vegas @ 1 am. Luckily the tow company was home to the local LS powerd sand rail club, Thunder racing provided the fuel pump I provided the beer and those guys did the work. Good luck !

Whoever did have it probably opened their hood and used a fuel pressure gauge.

Bad spark plugs, O2 sensor bit the dust and is making one bank run rich..

part of Moding a car is being able to trouble shoot when your mods break things.

Reving and pedal to the floor will never fix a problem..

Im sure your motor wont explode.. When motors explode they normally never give you a hint.


Start with pulling your plugs.
