Hi guys need some input on my troubles.

MY vette a 2000 is having problems. When I step on the gas in either first gear, second, third or fourth. I get some hesitation and then the car kicks in.

My vette has 78,000 miles.
I just changed the fuel filter at 78,000 miles.
Spark plugs at 56,000 miles
Spark plug wires at 56,000 miles
Lunati CAM 226/226 L114 at 68,000 miles

I have not tuned the car since putting in the CAM. Could that be the problem? Or is my Fuel injectors going bad? Is my Fuel Pump going out?

Trying to see what could be the problem. It idles fine and I have no problem driving when I am not forcing the gas pedal down. Its when I am giving it gas the car hesitates.

Thanks guys. I miss driving my vette.

You need a tune but thats probably not your main problem, get a hold of these people fuel injector cleaning and have them clean up your injectors if that doesn't solve your problem get it tuned with LS-1 edit or HP tuners

You should try cleaning the injectors first. Should defenitly have it tuned it could only help.

Log the car in autotap or hp tuner. Try a wide band also if you can. Good luck.
