my car starts and idles fine but when i give it some throttle it bogs and dies i have checked the timing and the idle air and cant get it to rev any ideas on what it can be thanks

maybe the tps sensor..?

afm or tps...

i started to suspect something like that but when i started it before that it was working and reving fine. i turned it off to put a seat in it and then it started to do this. ill prolly replace them just in case. also i had it timed with the jumper in at 10 deg when i started it the second time the timing marks were at about 25 deg way off and it was jumping around a bit

does this happen after first start or only after the car has warmed up or it doesn't matter?

well it happened the second time i started it. the engine was not cold but it wasnt operating temp

the first time i started it i had to set timing and set the idle. i got all of that dialed in but seemed to change after i cut it off.

w/o jumpering it, start it up and check timing. sounds like you'll have to reset timing again.

i had to change timing to get it to start then put it back but it wasnt runing right unless the timing mark was at the top of the pulley. i suspect i might have a wrong pulley so i just bought one to replace it.

im going to check the afm since that is easier then tps. the black cap of my afm is coming off i should prolly get a better one.


if some one wants to come to mi casa and give me a hand i wont mind lol.
iv been trying to get this car going properly for about 2 years now and every time it seems to point me in a different direction

i checked my afm and it is in spec. i checked my tps and i am going to try to adjust it if i cant get it back to spec i may need to get a new one.

might be your fuel pump. have you replaced your filter lately.


theses are symptoms of standard pressure but not enough volume amoung other things it could possibly be.

no i havent replaced my pump but my filter is new the pump works tho

i tested my TPS sensor when i use a .014 feeler gauge on the throttle stop it ohms out to 2660 ohms when it is supposed to read 2300 or less ohms. hopefully this is my problem
