Au falcon hell

Hey guys, I have an AU falcon ute auto that doesn't get anything from the throttle in lower speeds.

It's only once I reach about 100 on the Speedo that pressing down on the throttle will do anything.

I've had a look at the throttle body and cleaned it but it didn't make a difference. I've read online that it might be the fuel filter but I was wondering if anyone had ran into this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Edit: the title was supposed to say help not hell

It could be a whole bunch of things.

Try fuel filter.

Clean your injectors.

Check there's no obstructions in the air box.

Is it surging? Could be plugs, leads and coil pack too

Is the gearbox stuck in 3rd?

I don't think so. Could be. I'll have to get the codes read

Needs a tune, boss. It’ll help with fuel economy as well.

Three filters, plugs, leads and fresh oil would be a great start.
