Why does my 1997 Nissan Hardbody bog down at full throttle?

It has been feeling lately like my ‘97 Nissan Hardbody is bogging down when I’m full-throttle accelerating. Why would my engine hesitate when accelerating hard?

If your 1997 Nissan Hardbody bogs down at full throttle, it’s likely because there is an incorrect fuel/air mixture in the engine. It’s a good idea to check your:
  • Fuel filter
  • Fuel pump
  • Fuel pressure regulator
  • Muffler to see if it’s clogged
Older vehicles can sometimes produce a lot of soot.
To know for sure what is causing the bog-down of your Nissan’s engine, schedule a servicing schedule at your local mechanic. And while you’re waiting for their diagnosis, head to
