...has some blow by...

Just curious, what's this "has some blow by" in reference to ? :confused:

Oil Blow By. I would guess he is going through DPFE and Vacuum Solenoids. Might want to try the basics, Air, Fuel And Spark. Then get back to us.

meaning of blow by is when oil is getting into air intake something like that

Fuel pressure is low. I would check and replace the fuel pump.

persay if the fuel pump has low pressure would,nt the car run bad because u step on it hard u tear some tread

Possibly, but I have seen fuel pumps do this. Just have someone put a gauge on it and check the pressure.

Fuel filter could be clogged. It's an easy thing to replace, but no one ever pays attention to it. I would check that first.

:banghead:fuel pump checks out any other ideas maybe fuel vents pluged im grasping right now
