Wet plugs and no acceleration
« on: November 08, 2012, 11:15:34 AM »
Driving my 83 k20 home from work i suddenly lost all power and couldn't accelerate without the engine bogging down. I pulled over and checked for vacuum leaks but couldn't find any. I managed to get her home the last few miles by pumping the gas peddle rapidly to accelerate. idle is normal and doesnt miss, but once the throttle is opened past a certain point it will do nothing but bog and run like crap. even the smallest amount of throttle will make it bog. does this sound like an ignition or carb problem guys? I'm stumped  ???

Sounds like it's starving for fuel.  I'd check the fuel filter, and fuel pump.  If those test fine, could be an ignition issue....Cliff
