  • Lack of power

    I have a 96 3100 v6 idles good runs good but when you accelerate it is hesitant and has no power you have to give it WOT and then it down shifts and takes off like normal. it almost like it leans out. any ideas?

    HELP!

    How old is your O2 sensor? I know it doesn't do much at idle, and the ECM ignores it at WOT, so it's a possibility.

        put 3 used Mass air flow sensors in it stilll runs like crap. o2 sensors are 1 year old but the OBD II says the o2s are fine the only code its pulling is cat converter efficenty because it doesnt have a cat converter. cud it be the TBS???? i can make a video of me driving it so u can see what it does its weird itleans right out. fuel presure is normal even while driving so its nto the fuel pump.
