What's the base timing set at? Should be 6* BTDC w/EST bypass line disconnected.

May want to unplug the MAF wire harness as see if it improves any.

Shouldn't be a cat issue, you'd still be sluggish as the RPMs increased.

Might be time to plug into it with a scan tool...any codes set?

MAF is a bosch unit only 18,000 miles old. No Codes set. Will swaping the MAF relays help? It feels like a lean condition just off idle or something like that.

Thanks for your help

might want to consider cleaning and flow matching the injectors. i think cruzin preformace cost 80 dollars, vader speaks highly of them.

Ya, I was thinking of the injectors being the problem.

timing. my car was the same way, i'd say there's a 90% chance its timing, if the other stuff you've checked is working

  • 83 Z28--ttops, 200k miles--very ragged out. sold, thank goodness
  • 74 Z28--slightly modded 383, TH400 tranny, not too quick but fun to drive

When I had the fuel pump/strainer/filter replaced, they checked the timing and it's fine. I have a feeling it's that ****en EGR valve or solenoid...the solenoid being the part that no one on this board seams to know anything about..lol.
