Blazer wont go over 35 MPH

[dyeager535]

If you idled the truck, then got on it (float bowl would be full if pump is working enough to do that) did it make a difference?

Just trying to figure out the commonality with your experience and his...still a lot of variables, but at idle the pump should easily fill the float bowl, and that should give you enough gas to get up to 30+MPH. (of course, assuming the pump was moving enough to fill it at idle)

Also, did you have weak performance even getting to 30MPH, or was it more like a wall that you suddenly hit that you couldn't overcome?

It seemed like if i idled it and then took off it would get up and go much better then accelerating after slowing down. ALthough i do have to push on the gas some to keep it idleing.

The performance getting to 30 MPH is weak as well but at 30 its like it hits a wall.

The first time i took off and drove it it drove fine up till 35 MPH and then it started dogging it. Also i shut it off and it sat for awhile then my dad drove it and it took right off for him but wouldnt get over 40. Then i drove it back and it was weak getting up to 35.
