1990 camaro rs 3.1 v6

i just got my tv cable replaced and when i drive from half throttle to wot theres no power the car just kind of dies out. is this a tv cable/tranny problem

or could this be a fuel issue

 

fuel

 

it couldnt be a miss adjusted tv cable or a messed up tranny? it is deff fuel?

 

tv cable only controls shift points, where it shifts in the RPMS, the tranny is a big no, its more or less fuel, try running some fuel injector cleaner through it and changing your fuel filter. if that doesnt fix it you may have a clog in the system, injectors going out, a short in the harness for them or the pumps on the way out the door

 

When my father and I got our project s10 blazer the 700r4 was blown and when we put the engine in it would bog out under part throttle we ended up replacing it and part throttle bog gone. Does it do the same thing when you rev it up in park? If so then I would say say check your fuel pressure or fuel filter could be clogged. Did the car do this prior to the TV cable replacement?

 

the fuel filter thats out of the car?

and if i have to replace the pump how do i get to the pump

in my old car is was something like this but in the hatch under the carpet

 

i got the car running perfect. 100miles or so down the road i started it up went to drive it this type of thing happend i adjust it so many times but could never get it to shift at WOT the one time i was about 10 min away from my house and my car kept stalling so i decided to play with the tv cable snapped the plastic piece and zip tied it it to the throttle drove home not shifting out of first, but to answer yes it kind of was doing that before replacing tv cable

but i have not tried to rev it up in park, but if i rev it up in park and it does the same thing then its fuel?

 

yes

 

alright so ill try that in a lil bit


i do know there is a fuel issue some where because the car "auto revs" it self

 

need to get those fixed, more or likely when your at half throttle your starving the car so its dieing

 

before i picked up the car it hasnt been driven that much with in 5 years or so mostly been garaged and driving a few times a year

 

like i said get some injector cleaner and a new fuel filter and go from there

 

ok this just in the car does not rev right in park it

 

huh

 

firebird904 Does it do the same thing when you rev it up in park? If so then I would say say check your fuel pressure or fuel filter could be clogged.

the car car does the same thing in park as when i drive it it wont rev past half throttle

 

the out of tank fuel filter?

 

yes

 

what a good brand i found ac delco bosch pronto and wix

 

delco

 

Well, since you've been messing with the TV adjustment, you probably need a transmission as well as a fuel filter/pump/pressure regulator/etc. I'd have to look it up for sure, but I don't think the 700R4 is designed to downshift at WOT, merely to unlock the torque converter clutch.

You don't realize that messing with the TV adjustment can kill the trans in less than 100 miles by overheating it BAD.

 

once that problem came up when it would shift at WOT i never said anything bout downshifting i would WOT and it wouldnt shift to 2nd, but when that happened i barley drove it, yes i did drive it but only to interviews for jobs it was shiftin fine at part throttle so that how i would of kept it

 

Better check the trans fluid, but it sounds as if a replacement is in order. If the fluid isn't blood red and it's brown or black, chances are so are the clutch plates.

Oh, and there is no fuel pump access panel on an F-body. Get ready for a 3-hour MINIMUM job pulling the rear axle and gas tank. More time for rusted bolts, and possibly more money to replace bolts and other hardware that breaks.

 

im sure the trannys good, just because i took it to the shop to replace the tv cable and he had to drop the pan to get the hook and he changed the fluied and filter im sure he would of said something to be if the fluid was bad

he did tell me that my muffler is on backwards and that why pipes stick out the back, and he did say something about fuel issues i just wanted to make sure this was all bout the fuel lol
