nice, considering the only people i know that have run out of gas are men :rolleyes:

your different. you do cool shit like bike.

Anyway. Im going to write all thise suggestions down, and take them on a list with me to school tomorrow. My truck is at Belton High School, thats where i go but its 15 miles away. so i can only work on it the 2 hour class i have on school days.

Make sure there are no vacuum hoses are loose or cracked. Same goes with any
areas that have gaskets (throttle body, intake manifold etc). You can see if there
are any issues in those areas by spraying wd-40 on those mating areas. If your
rpm goes up or the idle smooths out then you have a leak. If it's idling perfect
and it just doesn't want to accelerate check the hoses for your distributor.

I don't know your car, but if you have a vacuum advance type distributor then
that is a big issue right there. If it's electronic advance then you're on your own.

In my experience I've found poor acceleration to be caused by:
1. vacuum leaks
2. advance in the distributor is stuck
3. on carb engines the fuel plunger was always an issue for me and older cars
4. timing is off (usually to retarded). you can still have good idle but no go with timing just a "little" off

If you're having a clogged air or fuel filter it will "usually" mostly affect top end not acceleration.

Good luck. I still think you need air in your tires.

2.5L right? for a carburated engine the later model ones are really damn complicated. Id check:

TPS
Fuel pump
EGR
Timing
Vacuum leak
Water in the gas tank
Fuel filters, screens and tank ventilation
Distributor cap, take it off, check for moisture/broken stuff
Carburetor, my guess would be accelerator pump/plunger but I dont know GM carbs.

I can't believe no-one's pin pointed the problem yet.

You need bigger tires. Problem solved.

The sub is taking up all your gas.

Definitely sounds like a worn muffler bearing to me.

that would explain the sputtering, negative pressure build backing up into the manifold and fouling the exhaust sequence, besides taking off the muffler and replacing the gasket what are the tests for this?

bingo, there is your problem
