ok so today its a blizzard! so I get the awd out well on my way to work it was fine, but on the way home not so much. Unless I just bairly feather the gas the motor wants backfire/stall(if I hold it in it just goes dead, untill I let off of the gas) then if I feather it in any gear it will slowly build up speed, 02's are fine so no flooding when it happens, vaccume is at 15 during idle boost for obvious reasons I only built it up to 5lbs. Note as well I hit one hell of a water hole on the way to work up to the doors. but didn't bog out then.

When In neutral it revs up to 6500 no problems builds boost to 10 then vents as normal over and over no stalling. only when going down the road, and no its not the clutch as it is not slipping It just studders, hesitates then its like the key got turned off, let off the gas and its fine.

I mean its not my dd and its in the works to swap the motor but this is just annoying me, as I've not had any problems out of it. I have a logger now but still am working on it.. shite obd gauge might as well read tarot cards. and just to broke to get dsmlink.
any help?
 
arrgh, that would explain the slight squeeling that happened at idle at a stoplight w/headlights on. never had one just get weak on me usually they just go...
 
It sounds to me like you got some water in your GM hotwire MAF. They don't like that. It makes you run VERY rich.
