Hi All!

The Blueberry (84 GL) has been lacking power for a while now. Here are the stats and useful info:

Recently replaced muffler and catalytic converter New spark plugs Compression between 135-150 Cap/rotor almost new Clean air filter Fuel pressure - 34 at idle, 39 at full throttle Passed emissions about six months ago

Runs pretty good on flats, but hills significantly hurt the power. Living in Colorado, this is bad! It feels like the first half of the throttle feels good, but the second half feels like the engine is simply lacking power, maybe choking?

Any ideas?
