95 boggs down on accelerationblkmonday 01-14-2006, 02:22 PM ok heres my situation...i have a 95 astro with a 4.3 (theres not that many astro posts so since its the same setup i thought id try here) my problem is a rough idle and it boggs down on acceleration...it lacks serious power. ive replaced so far fuel pump and strainer and filter ignition module ignition coil plugs/cap/rotor and wires air filter also cleaned the egr valve the fuel pressure is higher now with the new pump...so i dont feel replacing the pump was a waste of time. however it still runs like a 77 dodge with a zillion miles on it. what should i look at next? blkmonday 01-14-2006, 02:32 PM oh i forgot to mention...90k miles and no engine codes! nice computer these things have right? wolfox 01-17-2006, 02:30 AM Check base engine timing. Make sure that your CPI is working properly. (Fuel pressure leak-down test) Perform a complete engine compression test on all cylinders and a leak-down test there too. (All cylinders should be within 10% of one another to be considered healthy) If the CPI passes leakdown testing and you know you have no mis-fires, try running an SUV sized bottle of Techron through the fuel tank, you may just have dirty injectors, ring faces and valve seats. joehfd 01-17-2006, 12:19 PM I have a 95 blazer also had the same problem 1 was the fuel regulator and the 2nd was i had clogged cat converter it runs about $150.00 laxman21 01-17-2006, 12:29 PM Sounds like a clogged catalytic converter. wolfox 01-17-2006, 12:58 PM Hadn't thought of that Catalyst.
