Took it up for a long drive through the mountians.... Handled the climbs and everything great! On the way back down I stopped and got a car wash.

Angry What haven't I done on my blazer today?

I changed the fuel filter, TPS, MAP, IAV, Spark plugs/wires, Distributor cap/rotor, as well as cleaned/checked EGR, Fuel pump, wiring, etc..... Still no cure to the problem.... sputtering on acceleration!

The 4 cyl that I got has 173ish HP and 166 lb-ft of torque, so pretty peppy. If you get the 3.6L 6 cyl, it's 280something HP. In a small car, that's damn quick.
