no power under acceleration
« on: March 20, 2015, 09:35:17 pm »
Ok i have a 89 R2500 suburban it has a 350tbi/sm465 motor trans combo. most the time when im going to accelerate it doesnt seem to have much power behind it but there are some time when it shows its true get up and go and is fin but most the time its lack lustered for power. I know its not the clutch slipping as it was just replaced 3 months ago. when it seems to not have any power it wil sometimes pop through the exhaust. the timing on it is set to zero as per factory setting but i dont know what to look for after that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. heres a pic of what it looks like also

couple questions, does you check engine light come on when you first turn the key "on"? do you have any codes?
