Ever since I put my tranny back in I have had a little bit of low end loss. If I just mash the pedal it will bog and **** me off!If I ease out of the pedal it will run really smooth!

I painted my intake when it was off and I think that is part of the problem.The secondaries are opening,i switched the accumlater in the back and then the back ones will open rght when i hit the throttle and front one wont open at all!

any sugestions?

If one of the secondaries is not closing you will hve a definite power loss. What parts of the intake did you paint? How much did you disassemble it?

You should check to make sure that the vacuum hoses from the accumulator to the actuators are not pinched between the intake and the heads. Then you should verify that the hoses are properly connected per the information in this topic.

I took the entire intake apart!

I will see if it is pinced.But I dont think it is because its getting alot or air from the hose going into the accumlator!
thanks,keep the ideas coming

Its gotta be something to do with your intake. Check and recheck all the secondary lines, etc.

The lines are all fine from what I can see and they are not pinched! When I manually move the front one you can hear vaccum in the back!

The front will NOT move at all when the car is running.The rear one will move RIGHT when you hit the throttle!

I got a video I am trying to get hosted!

I would normally think you painted one of the grounding surfaces. :)

In this case, the secondary plunger furthest away from the vacuum source is not operating. I would suggest a leaking canister or a leaking line, especially if the rear bank opens as soon as the throttle is depressed.
