cross fire injection?

[82 Pirate]

I'm having some problems taking off from a stand still. If I "kick it in", the tires will spin about 2 revolutions, motor boggs and then I resume power. There's no hesitation if I'm already rolling about 10-15 mph. I recently replaced the plugs and wires in my '82 coupe. I'm using 93 octane. I checked the timing - it's ok. Any suggestions?

If you don't get an answer here...try a search and post over on the crossfire injection forum...

82 Pirate,

Just a few ideas.
Fuel pump stalling
Fuel filter sediment
Oil pressure sensor shutting down ECM
MAP sensor reading off
Knock sensor retarding spark

First, what does "kick it in" mean? Rev it up and drop into drive? By by tranmission if you do that all the time, and why? Power brake and released? Try asphalt if you have a thing for spinning the wheels. Remember, its 200 + or - horsepower, with relatively wider tires. You just won't get there.

Mine has a peformance chip, pushing it to about 220 hp. My tires will spin real well - on ice! No where else, though. And guess what? I don't care! If you want a hot rod you shouldn't have gotten a stock '82.

No, I'm not dropping it into drive - I value my car and transmission. When I'm standing still already in drive, I'll give it about 3/4 throttle. The wheels will break loose a little, but then the motor boggs down for a second. It then picks back up to continue take off. I'm concerned something is not set right and I'm not sure where to look next. This is my first with throttle bodies and cross fire injection.

For what's worth ; bump the base timing 4 more degrees , and see if this goes away.

If it doesn't, put it back.
