Default 92 bogging when Accelerating

I have a 92 and have the same problem.

After acquiring the vette from my brother who for 6 years started the car like once or twice per year.

I got the vette last year and changed the spark plugs, motor oil, transmission oil, air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter, and changed out the coolant.

I really didnt drive the vette much after changing all of the stuff that i mentioned but now i have experienced the bogging or lack of acceleration.

I was thinking it was stuff passing thru the tank to the injectors and after time will clear itself out but i dont think so.

I feel it might be the fuel pump ready to go out.

Any suggestions?

hello, I would hook up a fuel pressure gauge to see what the fuel pump is doing, if it is low psi change your fuel filter again and see if it improves. Vetts that sit like yours will form rust in the tank and do a number on the fuel pump. If the pump is running ok I would look at the fuel regulator to the injectors for proper operation. I have no exp with the ignition system yet, but stay tuned someone will chime in.
