I have been having a problem with lack of power. Most of the time I am driving around sprinting place to place...well sometimes my car acts like it has a power switch when I am gettin on it. But most of the time it feels kinda down on power. I did notice that when coming to a stop sign or a side street and braking I after I get off the brakes and get back on it it takes off with alot more power(if that makes any since). I notice also when I first start my car and it is still cool it seems to be more consistant as far as power(the good power). I have check the codes and dont have any that would make a differance in my power problem, (codes with engine on 77, 67 and with engine off no codes.)
Could the TFI moduel be going bad or what else could it be?
Thanks
Jason

It could be the TFI module. I have see other peoples cars lose power because of it.

I'am just up the road from up in mooresville.

I bought a peice of hose and found a vacume line behind my intake manifold and would disconnect that hose, connect my longer hose, and then suck out the seafoam while someone else was in the car making sure it didnt stall. But tehre are other ways of doing it. Ask around.

Ok I tried the seafoam and it didn't help, it did make a smoke show that I caught on video but didn't help my power problem, any other suggestions.
Thanks
