WHILE DRIVING, IT LACKS POWER AND I CAN'T STEP ON THE GAS TOO MUCH OR IT WILL BACKFIRE AND DIES,WHILE IT IS IN PARK I KEPT IT FLOORED AND IT BACKFIRES.I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EMISSIONS OR SPARK PLUGS. SOME SUGGESTIONS WOULD HELP. THANKS MUDBOGGER



  1. Last tune up?

  1. Check the timing?

  2. Check the fuel pressure?

Doc

Also check the in fuel filter and/or carb fuel filter

It says right in the post it's TBI, and the fuel pressure test will identify the fuel filter as a possible problem if the pressure is low.

Doc

You may have an injector that's dying.

Check your CapsLock, it seems to be stuck.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be my fuel filter.
