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

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.

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
