so I have a pretty much stock non intercooled 1st gen. pump is turned up a little, straight pipe, and cold air intake.Has the 727 torqueflite transmission.
ive had the truck for a while . but recently it fell flat on its face. i will be on the freeway going 60 and its wide open.
feels like something is luggin it down . doesnt feel snappy. barely smokes now. my tranny fluid is not burnt. (some metal shavings on the magnet in the tranny pan..but was pretty clean down there.)

does the throttle valve cable need to be adjusted?

or does it seem like not enough fuel?
(i used to have 30 pounds of boost wide open..now im lucky if i get over 10)

any help is appreciated.. just want my power back!

 

- Check the AFC's boost reference tube and be sure it's connected and not leaking.
- When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?

 

it was about a month ago. fuel was clean. got all of the air out of the lines too. ill check the boost line right now

 

What's the idle feeling like? Choppy or luggish?

 

Boost leak or possibly bad shut off solenoid? Any white smoke while accelerating

 

it starts perfect. but i did notice as i acclerate in park.. you can feel its a little choppy...i wanna install a fuel pressure gauge.. bad lift pump? probably needs replaced anyways the truck is 20 years old

 

I have about the same problem so please post if you find out what your problem is and I will do the same. Thanks.

 

A new lift pump would not hurt. Here's a great upgrade. Reliable Company too. > 89-93 dodge 1st gen low pressure piston lift pump | eBay
