Sup people. i just recently did my 3sgte swap on my 94 gt. car ran great for about 2 weeks and now i'm having problems when i take off. it feels as if the car has lost some power when i accerlate. i changed the oil, all the igniton parts, and i checked for leaks. is there anything else that can cause loss of accerlation other then the transmission? any advice would help thanks

Injectors,fuel pump,clean out your throttle body/manifold...Do you have a sound system in the car?

If you didn't do it with the swap,then for sure...cars/motors that sit for a long time sometimes are worse than cars that are beat on. I ran into a lot of troubles before with my 7th gen cuz it was sitting for almost 2 years.

the 3sgte swap w/ the t3-t4 ran 13.9. ran 15.0-15.9 a week before with the 5sfe. only mods i had on the 5sfe was the custom intake, custom header, custom exhaust, and the venom 300. probaly gonna sell the parts and the 5sfe motor and tranny in a week or two.... cant decide if i should keep it in case i get to happy the 3sgte motor and blow it lol. well post pics and videos as soon as the car gets out of the body shop. just finished all the body panels and it needs paint now.

I have the same problem with my 5sfe...
My GF father told me it might be my clutch, but my haynes book says it could either be spark plugs, fuel filter of ignition... Change spark plugs, nothing. I might give a shot at the fuel filter if it worked for you! -------------------- |
