My VK is missing\lagging

[commydore]

So anyway my 1984 VK is missing or lagging. However you want to put it. It has been doing this for some time now. I changed the battery, checked the alternator, flushed the injectors, changed the oil, changed the spark plugs, changed the fuel filter & cleaned the air filter & I'm still not sure why it is doing this?

Oh, by the way it has a 1996 (VS) V8 5.0L engine in it.


Not all the time, but most of the time, whenever I press the accelerator it seems as though there is nothing there & it takes a while to get going.

So does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like it might need a tune up, u could also check the timing and looks for holes in the exhaust.

If shes an auto the box will probley need a service, that will improve on what u want when u put the pedal down
