0-60... 10+ seconds?

[pyrodork]

this cant be normal for a 94 v6. i've even got a mass air flow filter installed.

what should i be looking at? i've tried different "mix-with-gas" products (seafoam and the like) and a trick i heard about just slamming the gas for awhile to shoot out the crud from the jets. i've thought fuel filter, too, but i honestly havent been able to afford it until now. then there's the whole accessing it and depressurizing the fuel system aspect. hell, i dont even remember where it is off the top of my head.

i've gotten new plugs, dist cap, wires... all that fun stuff. the real kicker is that the k&n air filter didnt seem to make any difference at all. not to mention, mileage sucks a lot more than it should; even with the k&n.

i have little experience with carb/injector work, but that's what i'm thinking it probably is. last time i messed with the injectors, my car started on fire, so i'm looking for a little more than a "take the injectors off and put em back on later"!


btw, i've had the truck for almost 4 years and this is how i got it from the dealer. i'd really like to get this addressed before the snow falls.


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

From what I've heard, even the V6 was heavily underpowered...

I know I'm lucky to do 0-60 in 20 with my 22R.

They're slow trucks. The V6 isn't that much better than the 22RE, and if you have an auto I'd say its a wash.

You don't have jets, you're injected.
If its smooth running and you get decent gas mileage, I'd leave it alone.

3rd gens take over 9 to hit 60 so yes,that seems to be right for a 3.sl0.
