Allright, I've got an '89 Ram and I'm having some slight acceleration issues. It's been a while coming, meaning... i've noticed a slight sluggishness (more noticeable at beginning of travel, and mostly uphill) but nothing alarming.
And i think I've been feeling some hesitation while at highway speeds, it sorta feels like it's surging. But it's nothing too bad, and with having lost an injector last year, it's got me worried.
Tonight, it was really sluggish going uphill (in the first five minutes of driving) and felt like it was starting to surge again, at low speeds. But it was able to accelerate normally (not quickly, lol.. but it's 30 out).
Hopefully that makes any sense at all. lol! I'm just asking yall's opinions. I'm not sure if it is an injector, the one that died last year showed some signs of surging (but it was windy that day and i'd never dealt with that, so i wasn't sure) and then later that day, almost completely quit.
Or could it be the fuel filter? I know when they get clogged, old, they can really affect how the vehicle runs cold.
Just let me know if i need to clarify anything...
