problems with b3000

[yamag7d8]

hey guys, i'm new to the forum! i have a 2002 b3000 and when i'm at a stop at the light and accelerate, the throttle isnt as responsive. when i have full tank of gas, it doesnt have this problem. also, i have a problem with my front left side of the car. when i accelerate or decelerate at slow speeds, it makes some kind of grinding noise. it only does it when there is high humidity or if its wet outside.

any comments would be nice!

thanks!

I don't know if this will solve your problem but if you haven't changed your fuel filter in a while that might be an inexpensive place to start. I tend to follow the 1st law of trial and error mechanics..."change the cheapest parts first". Given the information that it doesn't act up with a full tank of gas, perhaps the additional pressure from the full tank is overcoming a dirty fuel filter. For less than $20 might be worth a try.
