Just purchased an '86 that hadn't been driven for about 3 years. Changed oil, put in new plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor and the thing started right up. It initially ran a little rough but after filling the tank with fresh gas and Tektron for the injectors it seemed to settle right down. Idles fine around 700rpm. Problem is that it seems to bog down and be very sluggish on take off. After the first shift the motor picks up and seems to be running ok; however, I feel like it is still "holding back". I've adjusted the TPS to .54V. The other thing is that, with the tranny in park, I seem to notice a slight miss at high rpm (2000-2500rpm). I've checked for vacuum leaks and haven't noticed any. Would anyone have any other suggestions as to what might be causing this condition?

TIA

 

i would check the fuel pressure. I would also replace the fuel filter and see if that helps you out at all

 

thanx for the response

changing the fuel filter was one of the first things i did, along with new plugs, wires, cap, rotor. i still have to look at the fuel pressure.

unfortunately, the DIC isn't working so i can read codes. i'm planning on buying a code reader/scanner to see if any codes are being generated.
