my 1993 s-10 truck with the 4.3 engine does not want to take off going down the road every time i mash the gas it acts like i'm chokeing the engine. the timeing is off on the truck is it the egr valve or the mass air im am clueless?

The timing

The timing is:

Set
Adjusted
Re-adjusted

Via the "PCM".

Has the (FUEL FILTER) been changed recently?

(DRIVE) the truck with a (FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE) attached to the (ENGINE) and post the (FUEL PRESSURE PSI VALUES), under (DIFFERENT) engine loads.

(DO THE SAME) with an (ENGINE VACUUM PRESSURE TESTER).

(IGNORE) the (MIL). Do a scan for error codes even if the "MIL" is (OFF). Post any codes that maybe present so we can see them.

ALSO

Is your truck a (PLAIN) S-10 or a (BLAZER) S-10?

In 1993:

TBI (Throttle body Injection)
CSFI (Vortec)

WERE AVALIABLE
