Why Am I Experiencing Loss of Full Potential When Accelerating? Fuel Injector / Fuel Pressure Issue? '95 Ram?

95 Ram 1500, 5.2/318, 2x4, 184000 miles.



It feels like my truck doesn't put out as much power as it should. I can apply the accelerator sometimes and it feels like my truck doesn't want to go any faster, then if I push just a little closer to the floor it jumps to 3200 RPMs and takes off (and this happens without going fully to the floor) but still doesn't feel like a V8. At first I thought that maybe the accelerator cable might be stretched or something so I replaced that and nothing changed. I have even temporarily rigged up the accelerator cable from inside so that it will give more gas when I apply less pressure - it seemed to help but was a temporary experiment. I tested all the vacuum lines that I could find and they seemed to be ok except for 2 door actuators on the a/c unit. Replaced them both and are now holding vacuum. The throttle body looks clean and no valves in it appear to stick. It doesn't idle erratically and the RPMs appear to be normal otherwise. I would think that fuel filter would cause more issues and affect the idling. If fuel pump was going I think It would feel like the truck was going to die at a stop. Could this be caused by fuel injectors?



Sorry this is long but I wanted to make sure you knew everything. Thanks for reading and for helping.Why Am I Experiencing Loss of Full Potential When Accelerating? Fuel Injector / Fuel Pressure Issue? '95 Ram?I have a 97 and a 99 Ram. This sounds very familiar, and may even act like the trans is slipping? The most common problem? A blocked Catalytic converter. To check it, hit it with your fist to see if it rattles. The ceramic %26quot;honey comb%26quot; starts to break apart blocking the exhaust. This causes the computer to go wacky on you. The computer controls the engine and the trans. It will progressively get worse until the check engine light comes on from the O2 sensor. My 97 got so bad, it only went 30mph with the pedal to the floor. Allot of good transmissions have been replaced because of this.

Good luck!

M reg 306 wont start no fuel going to injectors?

changed fuel filter and bled fuel to the pump but no fuel present at the injectorsM reg 306 wont start no fuel going to injectors?did you bleed the injectors? it takes longer than you would think to get the fuel to the injectors. is the fuel pump working?

Maybe you should clean the injectors. get some injector fluid and add to fuel tank.

open all the injectors and use a jump pack or somthing to assist with the engine turn over then you should get drips of fuel after a while tighten them up one by one, use someone else to turn key, if that fails try a bit of easy start or brake cleaner... also check the filter is sealed correctly they wond blead if air is leaking..

Is the fuel pump on a Toyota 22 r-e pickup supposed to only run when the starter is cranking?

I have changed the fuel pump and checked that there is fire going into injectors. I have also changed plugs, wires and fuses and it will run when gas is poured into carbuerator but truck still won't start. Any ideas?Is the fuel pump on a Toyota 22 r-e pickup supposed to only run when the starter is cranking?First of all, 22RE is fuel injected. 22R is carbed. Which one do you have??? If it is EFI (22RE), the fuel pump will only turn on for a few seconds when the key is turned on, then when you crank it and it starts it will stay running. Keep in mind, the fuel pump will NOT turn on if there is never adequate oil pressure, so also check your oil level.



If it is carbed (22R), the fuel pump only runs when the engine is spinning at any speed because it is run by the motor.



Hope this helps.

No....



The fuel pump runs all the time. It's what transfers fuel to your engine. So if it's off, no fuel is going anywhere.

I mostly agree with nn2004. I would however check the plugs to see if they're getting wet. Did you change the fuel pump yourself? When you turn the key on, you should have a buddy listening for the fuel pump and see if they can hear the pump running for a few seconds. Then it will shut off. You might have left out a step if this isn't happening/

Why is "traction engaged" displayed on my 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood?

It's a 1993 Fleetwood brougham. I recently changed my fuel injector and soon after doing so, the %26quot;traction engaged%26quot; light came off. The pressure now builds against my gas pedal to where it pushes back whenever I press it.

It's gotten to a point where I can't accelerate past 30mph without the gas pedal completely pushing my foot back. Please tell me how I can fix this and/or what it means. Thanks!Why is %26quot;traction engaged%26quot; displayed on my 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood?Sounds like the traction control system is engaging and slowing your vehicle down for you. Usually it's only supposed to do this when you're in low traction conditions, gravel, mud, snow, etc (it's an earlier/less sophisticated version of Stabilitrak in newer GM vehicles).



It looks like yours is malfunctioning and engaging all the time. Not sure why it would do it after you changed a fuel injector. You might want to take it to the dealer or a local shop to have it looked at. Could be bad speed sensors or bad computer.



Good Luck!

I think my fuel injectors need cleaning or replaced, how can I tell without seeing a mechanic?

I have a 99 Chevy Z-71 PU with a V-8. It spits/sputters at times. But when pulling a loaded trailer with about 3,500 lbs., it runs fine. The truck has 90,000 miles and is maintained. To my knowledge has never had a tune-up. All I've ever done is changed the oil, filter, air %26amp; fuel filter. Is there a simple test I can do myself? I don't mind going to a mechanic but if it's a simple fix, I really need to do it myself.I think my fuel injectors need cleaning or replaced, how can I tell without seeing a mechanic?you know people are here to help looks like someone that has been turning a wrench for 46 years would give better advice ..but there is a difference in turning a wrench and being a mechanic .. just get you some injector cleaner the best one on the market is made by lucas it will clean the injectors you wont need to replace them they are not old enough to be replaced you will know when they get that bad beleive me you should tune it up with plugs wires distributor cap and rotor button if the injectors are dirty it will be a good idea to change the o2 sensor as well all the carbon will build up on it from injectors and you will need to replace it anyway

buy a crystal ball....or do what everybody else does and see a mechanic...unless you are willing to start your training as a auto tech then by all means, start guessing, but remember all those wrong parts you bought and swapped is education money.

You should be using some injector cleaner every 3-9 months at least, but Lucas oil products makes an injector cleaner that comes in a32 oz. bottle and only uses about 3 oz. per tank that I used after I had neglected to clean mine for WAY too long and was impressed after just a few miles===if you can find it you should try it.
You need a 90,000 mile service!! Change the plugs, the fuel filter, the transmission fluid, coolant, maybe the wires if needed. Look in the book, it will tell you everything you need to do. If you go to a dealer or mechanic, they will get you for a few hundred dollars. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can save ALOT of money. Put some Redline Fuel System Cleaner in it. But, if you ignore it, it will die on you.
Your truck is probably misfiring because of inacurate timing. If your truck only has dirty injectors, just try using injector cleaner. don't get the cheap brand from the gas station. Go to an auto parts store and buy it. It should clean your injectors. If not, you can replace your injectors
After 90,000 miles I would say you should run to a auto parts store and get some stuff called Seafoam it will clean out more than just your injectors, and use it more than every 90,000 miles.
At 90,000 km I,d put a set of plugs in it , Have you changed the fuel filter? Drive-ability issues are usually best dealt with by a reputable mechanic. Does the truck fire any check engine light when the truck sputters. Don,t just throw parts at the truck hoping you hit the problem , although I would still put plugs in it, and clean the throttle body , change the fuel filter and put a good quality injection system cleaner through the fuel system.
its your fuel injector.. call my dad he fixes everything! He great

Why am I hearing metal bang around in my intake?

I recently changed my fuel injector on my 96 cavalier....right after I changed it, I noticed metal banging around in what I think could be the intake. My car would crank and run briefly, after it ran a little bit the metal would start, then it would shut off. Now it doesnt wanna crank at all, very strangeWhy am I hearing metal bang around in my intake?Your valve train meaning cam-lobes and or worn valves may cause this %26quot;knock%26quot; in the engine. Lack of oil and or cheap fuel can be the blame. Also, if you have the 2.4 they are known for this problem. Most came standard with the 2.2. Also timing is effected causing engine loping, stalling and or surging.
Why am I hearing metal bang around in my intake?
Sounds like it's pinging. You are running very lean so maybe you messed up the injector swap. Why did you have to change it in the first place? Unless you dropped a screw in there or something, I don't see how you'd hear anything %26quot;banging%26quot; around in there anyway. Banging is a big noise in my book. Did you mean clinking? Sounds more like the timing chain/belt has jumped.
Why am I hearing metal bang around in my intake?
That is never a good sign!



That it won't crank is very discouraging. Broken engine discouraging.



Remove the intake manifold and look for damage from a screw or part of an injector that is where it does not belong. if you see damage it is probably time to call a mechanic. If not try charging your battery and cranking the engine again. You could get lucky.

:::::Fuel Injectors::::?

typically how long should it take a %26quot;good%26quot; auto shop to change 8 fuel injectors? ...how long would it take your shop to do the job?:::::Fuel Injectors::::?How are you sure its injectors? Would seem to be other issues, like a fuel filter and other electronic control devices.
:::::Fuel Injectors::::?
Depends... Sometimes you have to lift the engine halfway out of the car to get at them, taking off wheels or inside wheelwells could also have to happen.
