1995 Pickup Runs Bad and Bogs Down

Ichiro · 10-12-2007, 10:38 AM

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a 1995 Pickup (manual) that bogs down when the gas is pushed to the floor. I changed the EGR valve and the truck still runs exactly as it did.

This vehicle loses power going uphill and when you try to give it gas, it will bog big time. Also if I'm in neutral and simply push the gas to the floor the engine will rev and bog rev and bog rev and bog.

Any ideas?

have you checked the timing chain? my old nissan that i had was doin pretty much the same thing. the timing chain tensioners wear out. my chain ended up in my oil pan cuz i was too cheap to fix it.

keep it simple... check for restrictions in the airflow (filter, chipmunk nest...)

does it shake???

Thanks for everyone's input. Does it shake? I suppose it does when it stalls. I decided to take it to the shop and have them look it over. I wanted to try and repair it myself but sometimes you got to bite the bullet. I will update the forum with the results.

Thanks.

Sounds exactly like my truck a while back
It was the fuel pump located in the gas tank
Easiest access is to remove pickup bed ( sounds bad but is not)
cost about $150 for pump at Advance
