It is fuel injected and it bogs down when pressing the accelerator hard. You can mash it SLOWLY and the RPMs will come up but anything other than slow will cause it to bog down and die.

I looked at the original engine and made the vacuum configuration the same. I spoke with my brother and he thinks it may be fuel related. I will replace the fuel filter, check the fuel lines for kinks and if someone knows where the fuel/air mixture module is and can tell me, that would be greatly appreciated!

I recently made an engine swap from an automatic transmission to a 4WD manual. The engine starts and runs but cuts out if you get on it hard. I have checked the vacuum lines and as far as I can tell they are hooked up right. Is there something electronic I need off the old engine that was attached to the manual transmission? What else could be causing this? Thanks Waddon5

Thanks for the welcome! When I bought this car the tranny had a leak and we were pretty religous about maintaining the fluid level. I noticed early that it didn't like to shift and seemed to like 3rd gear most of the time. Currently the car will not shift into reverese and it acts like it is still in gear when in park. Press on the gas in park and the engine is under load, shift into reverse or anything else and the car wants to move forward.

From what I know so far the 4 wd drive car is also an 88 GL10. I do not know what tranny it has in it at this point. I have been e-mailing the seller and haven't seen it yet.

I recently bought an 88 2wd GL 10 for my daughter. Unfortunately she burned up the tranny. I am considering buying a parts car that has a tired engine and is 4wd. Should I consider a tranny swap or an engine swap? Are the bell housings compatable for 2 and 4 wd's? thanks
