exaust leak.

so i found a leak in my exaust today. not a huge one or anything, just a leak. i wander if that could be contributing to the problem i have at startup sometimes, like feeling like i have little or no fuel pressure no acceleration and so on? whatta ya think.

exhaust leak as in, a hole in your muffler, or like bent exhaust valve/leaking headers? if its just a hole in your muffler or leaky headers, i seriously doubt it has anything to do with slower acceleration. but if its a bent exhaust valve, then thats probably the reason. i bent up my exaust valves(or atleast thats what i beleive happend) when i went offroading a while back, slowed it down pretty bad.


hmm.. i should probably get that fixed.....

its a corroded hole in the pipe. its up closer to the headers but its not the headers. i just heard it and got up under there and saw the whole. i cant figure out whats causing my problem with acceleration and what not. it has all the signs of a bad fuel pump, but if it was the pump it would have gone out a long time ago this is something that happens just every now and then and ill peg it, get nothin, then it well just take off and its fine. i dont know whats up.
