I have a stocked out 94 st and my take off is really slow. This has just been happening recently. I can floor it and more noise than anything is happening. Does anybody know what might be wrong.
For example I can floor it in gravel and it doesn't even burn out, it's kinda scary entering a Hwy. and your barely moving. |

In case it's not related to your exhaust issue, I would check for vacuum or air leaks. Check the large hose from your air filter box to the intake. If there are any cracks at all, when the engine moves the cracks will open and it will suck in more air and lean out the mixture. Also check for vacuum leaks, esp. around the PCV valve and in any cracked rubber engine hoses. One way you can check for leaks is by using a length of 3/4" rubber tubing as a stethoscope. Failing that, I would check for intake gasket leaks. The trick here is to spray carb cleaner at the intake gasket and listen for a stumble.
