Very, very wierd problem, please read
Hey team,
It just started happening recently. I get this chugging of the car only when cruising. This does not happen on deceleration or acceleration, just when I'am at a constant speed(on the lower RPM's). It almost feels like it's not receiving fuel, but why? It does at WOT and is idles perfect with 17 on vacuum.
Also this doesn't happen all the time. This morning it was fine but last night it was doing it and the day before. I changed the fuel filter and plugs not too long ago. I can't see why it would be the filter seeing as it would happen more so at higher speeds and not just at cruising speeds.
Can't see why it would be the plugs because it pulls to redline just fine. I know my pulsation dampner is going to need replacement soon, would this cause my problem. The chugging wont go away, it just chugs till I throw it in nuetral, accelerate on boost, or decelerate. Would a faulty air pump cause this. I disconnected my air pump and it was fine before. getting a shorter belt to run wiht out it.
Thank you for your help,
Jonas

Could be pressure sensor or a problem with the injectors.

Is this problem like the one described in this thread?

I had these symptoms and they are completely gone after I added a ground from the negative battery terminal to the chassis and replaced the one from the firewall to the uim. It has been a few months and they are still not back. I am also planning on replacing the ground down on the cat.
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a pm.

These cars have a notorious grounding problem that results in about a 3k RPM hesitation if I remember correctly. There are aftermarket grounding kits you can purchase. In fact I think Pettit will send you a free one with any order, but don’t quote me on that.

Oh yeah, I would have to say it is a ground problem. Mine did the same thing. I ran a ground like shown below, plus a 2 guage cable from the negative battery post to a ground on the chassis.
