dcmille290 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 My 1987 EA82 GL lately has not been able to go up a hill. It warms up fine, goes down hills OK, but even at 50 when I start going up a hill the engine spits and sputters and feels like it isn't getting fuel. Sometimes I have had problems with it going over 50, but most of the time it just hills. I am open to any advise, I'd like to get this resolved before Winter gets here.

loyalelover Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 sounds like you need a good tune up. check fuel filters, plugs, air, even for small vacume leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberfox Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sounds like a plugged converter/exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmille290 Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 sounds like you need a good tune up. check fuel filters, plugs, air, even for small vacuum leaks. Should have let you all know what condition the engine is in. I maintain it really well, it's got new plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotor, and I have checked all of the vacuum lines as best as possible. I have also thought about the exhaust system. When it's cold I warm the engine up, and when it idling up it never really seemed like much was exiting the exhaust tailpipe compared to how fast the engine was revving. How can I tell if that could be the case? Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberfox Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Disconnect it forward of the converter and see how it runs ( I don't know what your set up is). Chances are this may be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I Faced that Problem on a Friend's EA82 Subie... and I Fixed it!: in that case, it had a Clogged Filter inside the "Y" Pipe, it is just inside the Point where the Two Pipes Connects to become one pipe Out... I Kindly Suggest you to Check for Clogged "Y" Pipe / Cathalytic Converter Filters. Good Luck! Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
