Default WOT Problems

Ok next problem. Did i mention You guys Rule... IF i slowly get on my vette it gets up and goes ok...If i Floor it, it almost seems like something is Clogged i thought cat but nope it was Hollowed out bye the previous owner..>My motor is freshly rebuilt. So no problems there. Mufflers are still on and they are rusty and really bad. Intake is stock, MAF screens are pulled, i did that it seemed to help. Any Idea's....Thanks

Check fuel pressure, change fuel filter would be a good start. Buy a Helms service manuel http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?r=

If fuel pressure is OK, check TPS setting and operation as well as base timing.

If it has a K&N air filter get a kit and clean and oil it; if not install a K&N filter.

The TPS has nothing to do with the skills of the engine builder. I've had several crap out or become misadjusted on different models and this could very well be your problem. I always keep a spare after having such bad luck with the damn things.

The fuel filter is a good suggestion also, and should be checked.
