running rough a full throttle

Truck starts up OK and ticks over/revs up OK/
When to go to drive if you pull away at a slow and build revs up find.
But when pulling away quick push the throttle down it starts to sound like its missing and splutters only when pulling away fast.
Changed spark plugs fillters checked for cracks in exhaust system and manifold all OK.

certainly cleaning that 'last chance' screen will help eliminate that one possibility. The problem could also be in the main 'injector' or the power assist injector.


also could be a problem with the aissan converter/vaporizer, tar/oil buildup inside it can cause poor performance.

so while your cleaning things pull the drain on the converter and clean it out also ;o)

how much LP in the tank? about to run out? (just kidding i know u checked the fuel level in the tank right?)
;o)

K-21 engine?
There is a "last chance" filter screen located in the injector holder body. It's under a 2-screw cover plate on top of the injector holder body. This screen will over time clog from heavy ends/tar in the fuel vapor and starve the fuel flow.
When maximum acceleration is called for, that is when fuel demand is the highest, and also when you will notice the spluttering you refer to.
If the screen is coated when you take off the cover, I suggest you remove the injector holder from the truck and turn it upside down to remove the screen for cleaning or replacement.
Trying to remove the screen while the injector holder is mounted to the engine can result in some of the trash and crud in the filter bore managing to just fall right on into the bore past where the filter is located. This trash will then be carried right into the injectors.
The screen is held in place by a small circlip.
