hey i came across this, cause i seem to have acceleration problems and could not find anything similar to mine.
Here goes, my engine ran perfectly normal, then randomly one day WHILE driving it began to sputter lightly, then became gradually worse while accelerating, then finally as i came to a stop my engine was running rough and sounded like misfire, it kept doing this as i tried to accelerate the entire time.. i replaced the spark plugs and gap at .028 to .030 and replaced wires. Timing is fine but after doing this it still has the problem. I haven't tried a boost leak test yet, but could that cause this?
I also read that it could be my TB is dirty. At idle it seems to boost up quicker then norm could it be a intake leak somewhere? I retightened all the hose clamps i could think of and find. i lots of possibilites but no one with a similar problem as mine any suggestions. i would really appreciate the help.
