I swore I was going to solve this on my own, but I've done everything I could possibly think of to fix the problem, but no luck.
First off, this was a problem I knew of before I bought it. I figured it would be an easy fix. It idles great. It runs great when it's cold. When the engine warms up, it still idles fine. The only thing I've noticed at idle is a "miss" in the exhaust, which when you put your hand over the exhaust pipe, is much hotter than the normal exhaust. This is every 10 seconds or so.
When driving after the engine is warm, it seems to bog down in every gear. And I'm not hot-rodding the truck either. But if I simply, barely ease my foot off the gas, it smoothes out. It will continue to acccelerate at this position, but if I try to give it any more gas, it bogs down again.
Other than this it runs great. Here is a list of everything I've replaced, and yes, the timing is correct.
New inline fuel filter
New spark plugs/wires
New fuel pump
New Weber carb
Pertronix igniter and coil/new coil wire
New tail pipe and muffler
I believe that's everything. Does this point to maybe an exhaust leak? Or is there something obvious I'm missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I refuse to take it to anyone, but it may come down to that soon. (Hopefully not though)
Thanks,
Ben
