Re: bogging out

Check the fuel pressure, sounds like a bad fuel pump. :-(

Re: bogging out

How did you measure the spark intensity? Visually? Maybe a cap/rotor/wire problem, but in my experience, usually that won't prevent firing like weak fuel pressure will. The spider won't even activate with low pressure. I've replaced my pump twice in the last 5 years when the truck was acting as you described.

What is your pressure reading?
