1992 gmc suburban has no power and bogs in cold weather

When im driving down the road when its warm outside and i have plenty of power,its only a 5.7 and im pushing 35's and i just put an engine in it..but when it gets cold out and im trying to push a hill it doesnt matter how much i push the throttle down it will not even rev up it just bogs harder but when im under 2000 rpms its smooth thottle.. im not sure what to think.. the truck runs great it wont quit running and the check engine light never comes on and starts every time and i put a fuel pump in it but it still happens ..

SOURCE: 1996 GMC Suburban - Quit Running While Driving, Will Not Start

switch the fuel pump relay with another on in the realy box. see if you hear the pump come on when you turn the key on (should run for 2 seconds) if not, have someone rap on the bottom center of fuel tank while you are trying to start the truck if it starts, the pump is bad and you will need to replace it. if you hear the pump run and is doesnt start, it may be a spark problem , verify if you have spark. this engine needs 58-62 PSI fuel pressure, if it has 55PSI, its not going to run.

You need to perform an OBDII diagnostic test and look at the stored faults. Sounds like a temp sensor or Mass Airflow Sensor. Also dirty air filter needs to be changed every 40,000 miles. be sure to delete stored faults and recheck OBDII periodically for new faults.

Gmc idles rough in cold weather

Check the coolant temp. sensor (It controls warm up RPM, open loop ECU mode) And change the fuel filter every 20,000 miles to prevent water in filter from freezing ( fuel starvation).

2004 Blazer runs normal cold start, plenty of power. Bogs down after warm up, diminishing power, won't go. Catalytic Converter? What is temp sensitive could bog engine down?

The Catalytic Converter is one possibility, but not likely. If when the truck bogs down, and stalls out, this could be more related to a fuel pump issue. If on your truck the fuel pump is located inside of the fuel tank, then once the pump heats up, this would happen. Acting as though it's something electrical, but it's really not.

1992 GMC Suburban over cooled???

You may have been given the wrong thermostat. Either way, you can try a hotter thermostat. If the water pump has never been changed it might be time for a new one. I've already had one that was so old that the propeller inside had the fins rusted completely off and the bearings were so bad it was messing up the timing of the motor. The truck wouldn't idle. And guess where alll the rusted off propeller chunks ended up. . . that's right. In the radiator, heater core and the thermostat. I flushed that truck for three days in both directions to get all that scrap out of there. Good Luck. And if you still have the old thermostat you can always throw that one back in, just to see what happens.

I have a 1996 2.5 liter Dodge dakota that will turn over but not

im assuming youve done basic tune up of plugs, wires, air and fuel filters, oil, distributor if applicable (im guessing not but never owned a dodge)

if it bogs down/stalls at stops only when its hot, try a new egr valve. probably getting stuck open. if not that try heavier oil to see if its losing compression, just one step up. also,

if it runs ok after clearing the computer by disconnecting the battery for a while, probably a dying sensor (most likely o2)

if after clearing computer it still runs bad after warm up, see if it bogs down really bad when letting it warm up from cold without driving (just idle to make sure its not egr system). if it dies or sounds like its close to dead, then its probably something fuel related (clogged/faulty injector, worn fuel pump, bad pump relay)

hope it helps
