hi thank you! I replace the fuel pressure sender, map sensor, all four O2 sensors, fuel pressure reading is 50psi, spark plugs changed 3000 miles ago, i put a computer on it and it said my barometric pressure voltage is 4.25 which i think its suppose to be reading .5 volts. So i'm very lost can you help me? oh yeah it idles with a little miss and when i first get on the fuel slowly it bucks and chokes misses bad. then when i kick it down to the next gear it runs fine. but when its in overdrive going up a hill it does the same thing until it kicks into the lower gear. Any help would be appreciated.
