Why does my Chevy 350 engine bog when hitting the gas?

I have an older Chevy Camaro with a 350 engine under the hood. While I take meticulous care of the vehicle, I’ve run into one major issue in the recent past—the engine starts to bog down when I accelerate. Why is my Chevy 350 bogging when I push the accelerator to the floor?

Sorry to hear your Camaro is having some engine troubles! While diagnosing a specific problem isn’t easy without looking at it, the Chevy 350 engine usually bogs down when hitting the gas due to fuel plugs needing replacement, bad or dirty fuel injectors, or a bad fuel pump.
However, the Chevy 350 engine is a work of art—it’s powerful and isn’t known to have too many issues or problems. To properly diagnose the issue, make sure to
take your car to a mechanic
as soon as possible.
