Re: Throttle Response
When you step on the pedal, does it stumble or hesitate before getting up and go, or is it just steady "vrrrrrrrrrrr" and then ?VVVVVVRRRRMMM"?

Re: Throttle Response
like im in third right. so i push the throttle all the way, and i dont feel much difference then when i barely push the throttle. also when i do it with my hand ( pop the hood and push the throttle down) its slowed by about 1 second.

Re: Throttle Response
That's a confusing situation. I have no idea what kind of system you have. If you had a TPI, I could of directed you in a better direction. Sorry man.

Re: Throttle Response
Keep in mind its only a 140hp car and the throttle responce isnt great when you just mash the gas all the way. Video tape it and I can see if its about the same as mine was when my car was stock.
Id go video tape mine and show you what mines like, but I totally fried my stock fuel pump the other day...opps I guess that happends with 30lbs injectors and a tired fuel pump.

Keep an eye on the brake lines when you drop the axle.
