2002 ALH 5 speed 300K. The car came in with a blown timing belt. The head was redone, the pistons had no damage, the engine was reassembled with a new timing kit, water pump, head gasket, and head bolts.
The intake was thoroughly cleaned, the EGR was deleted with a kit, the injector nozzles were ultrasonic cleaned, the cat had been deleted by the owner, and a new air filter was installed.
After getting the motor to fire back up, the injection pump timing was set, the injection quantity was verified to be good, vacuum from the pump is 22 and none of the lines are leaking (suspected bad ones were replaced). compression was checked and even on all cylinders (680 +/- 20).
The engine idles great and smooth but acceleration feels like there is no torque and coming upon a hill will keep the car from gaining any speed.
RPMs will rev up with no stutter easily, driving or parked.
Blocks 3/8/11 look good, I will post them shortly. Maf numbers move and get up over 900, all the requested and actuals are very close, etc.
I'm at a loss on what to suspect, but my gut tells me it's fueling (not enough).
Any help would be much appreciated.
