You need to be way more specific than that. What are the conditions? Weather, temperature? Has the motor always done this or something new? Have you checked for codes? Do you do anything differently when it doesnt accelerate properly?

What year motor is it? Transmission? Sounds like you have a problem somewhere with your tranny.

Ive swapped a 95Lt1/4l60e in a 86 Camaro.It always did that whether Im crusing or if i get down on it,but it does not do that all the time.

Re: Lt1 not pulling correctly when accelerate

Mine did that in the early days of my swap, for me it was a sign that the 4l60e was on its way out..

Re: Lt1 not pulling correctly when accelerate

Did you get a warrantee? A rebuild does not mean trouble free.. the same symptoms I had meant the converter was on its way out, then the pump, metal filings into the clutch linings and then valve body, then game over..

Not to freak you out, and it may not be serious at all, but you should have someone diagnose it.

Re: Lt1 not pulling correctly when accelerate

The converter I had was a brand new B&M 2500.. that was where the failure started. It lasted about 2k miles.

The problem is in your tranny, check it out or not..

Good luck!

Re: Lt1 not pulling correctly when accelerate

Sometimes while cruising or when I get on it its like it gets outta gear or something. I will look into the tranny tho, did you use a SPDT relay on yor swap, its somethin to do with unlocking the torq conv
