A few weeks ago, it started idling rough when you first start it and it cuts out when you first take off. I have put new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new mass flow intake and a new fuel filter on it in the last six months. But once you get going, it runs like a new car. I was wonder would the fuel pump be getting weak, or would the fuel filter be plug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check fuel pressure with a gauge it will cause all kinds of problems. Auto parts rent gauge. See link on how to do it.

Hello,

I would start with a compression test see if you have a weak cylinder, if you don't have a gauge you can rent one for free at the auto parts store.

Please run this test and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
