I know my car used to feel like it opened up more around 5200ish or so under hard acceleration. Now it no longer does this I have I/H/E so I figured it would pull harder now with everything flowing... what could be the cause of this? A few suggestions I am thinking stuck secondary butterflies? stuck TB? Weak Coil? It is running really rich also, like when I let off the gas it sits on rich. Like it is dumping fuel? any suggestions?

How is your O2 sensor? What does the a/f gauge tell you while cruising and at WOT?

What is the walbro for?

I have removed the walbro already. I orginally had it installed b/c I was going to run some nitrous but I decided not to. at WOT it is rich and when I am on the interstate cruising at 70 it is rich, it has been doing this on and off for awhile now and I am trying to get to the problem. It just doesn't have the pep it used to when it was stock. Now I have I/H/E and it feels the same. I just replaced the O2 like a month ago. Maybe it is bad.

I hate to say it but you may want to replace your O2 again.. Doesn't sound like it is responding properly.

Oxygen sensors can be tested. Don't replay them willy nilly unless you know for certain it's no longer good.

I replaced the O2 sensor anyway b/c I just returned it and got another new o2 for free. That didn't fix it. I am thinking it is the butterflies or the TB is dirty.

Well then you know what you need to do, get a can of carb cleaner and spray the piss out of it!

Hows your air filter looking?
