Alright i whent to move it today and its not running right. Its acting like it has half the power it did before and when i reved it a little it then idled down to 800rpm, when normally it tidles at 950rpm. What do you think this could be, im hoping that its just becouse it has sat for a little more than a week, could this be my problem or could it be the float was nocked out of adjustment? Thanks for your help guys.

LUV's are social trucks. Leaving it sit for a week probably upset it. They are like pet skunks, you HAVE to show them lot's of attention. What you might have to do is go to the front of the hood, bend down and talk to it and apologize for not not playing with it all week. Be sure to have LOT's of witnesses to watch you do this as it will help the little truck come out of it's gloomy mood! :lol: :lol: Hope this helps as I sure don't know what else to tell you....

Don't forget all the witnesses! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I did find something. Is it possible to have a bit of water in your tank? If you just filled it up, it is possible to have had some get in the tank. A guy here said that happened to him a while back. His car ran like crap for a while. He put it on the highway and ran it hard for a few miles and was able to suck the water bits out of the tank. After, it ran just like it did before.
