i couldn't do it over the weekend cuse i got no place to do it and also the is snow everywhere here. i said im gathering info and parts i have to do what i can when i can. but tks

 

i most def have run in to this problem in the past with a different car i had and yes the cat was the problem.. but this is not the case with what i have now i have a magnaflow high flow cat and muffler. but the question now is what about the pre cat i was told to not take it off because of emissions....

 

Yes I was talking about your cat, it's called a catalytic converter, sorry about that. Just remove the o2 sensors are try that first. If you notice a difference then there is your problem. It's a free test.

 

my problem was and sort of still is( with the fuel pump thing) that i had a fuel cell made to house the stock sending unit in a 15 gallon cell so it would have been as easy as running a pump through the fuel cell sump but for that i would not have had the cell made to house the stock sending unit but i call my truck the fuel pump killer and stock ac delco units are not cheap and i had to go through five of them before dave the cat that use to work at suicide doors gave me that idea and it fixed my previous problem of the truck not getting enough pressure and not turning over.. i had to get it started with starting fluid ever time it sucked. i put that trick flow on and it fired up first shot no problems.. im just pulling my hair out at this point..i even went as far as cracking one of the top ports on the cell to see if maybe the fuel pump was not getting any air and causing pressure and all it did was make the fuel pump quieter. im gonna try that o2 sensor idea though thanks

 

ooooookay!!! so figured out today when i was doing some process of elimination today that my intake gasket shit the bed and is most likely dumping coolant into one of the cylinders and is what is causing my sputtering. i did a little more snoopin arond when i noticed a puddle of piss under my truck after i was checking things out so when thats fixed ill let you guys know the outcome...

 

BUMP!!! well after fixing my gasket leak, no more coolant blowing everwhere lol im still having the same issue with the truck bogging when i stomp on the gas. so what have i replaced:
fuel filter
all the plugs
clean mass air flow sensor
fuel pump is good
plug wires are new and up graded ac delco's

im just stuck at this point. everything has made an improvement with how it runs for instance when i put the new plugs in the old plugs only had about 500 or so miles on it and they literally looked as if i heat shrunk plastic to them and as soon as i put the new plugs in the motor ran quieter and just sounded more efficient. but now when i rev the motor and then rev it agian it sounds like she bogs down under pressure im starting to think that the pre cat is clogged cause it has a new cat back on it but i dont know im all out of ideal....... please help

 

i actually had my fuel pump assy replaced over the weekend and fuel filter and that did it for me, i still havent done the cat yet, but my issue is gone and now im going for the magnaflow cat and muffler because i bought them so might as well just put them in for the summer....

 

the magnaflow converters are junk. mine fell apart inside in less than 2 years. it all blew and lodged inside my muffler. now I have to replace all of it.
kind of pisses me off.
I should have just bought the original part instead.

 

I have to agree with serpentracer. I had the magnaflow converter on my 94 SS and it did the same thing, fell apart on the inside in less than two years it pissed me off as well. idk theres just something about them that make them junk..

 

so which one do u have now? im looking for SS stuff and dont wanna the flowcrapper....

 

i never bought another one i went with a straight pipe into a 2.5in one chamber flowmaster it seems to run better without the cat

 

i wish i could do that but i cant cuse of car sticker in Boston. but i know for fact the my cat does not have a problem so i might just keep stock one for now and just throw the new muffler.

 

have u checked the pick-up coil??

 

nope for what?

 

for ur truck problems

 

it was the fuel pump, i replaced last week and that did it, also lowered the back with angle blocks and put new belltech shocks.

 

o my fault man i read most of it but didnt get that far lol

 

its ok... i saw i guy selling a xtnd cab 93 square body s10 for 1200 on CL he said only needed a new clutch and i was gonna get it but he sold before i had the money.
