darsdoug Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I just bought a 88 gl wagon dual range SPFI for two hundred bucks with 216K on the clock. I've been driving it to work with few problems other than it stalls out a little when I nail it getting on the freeway. I put a new fuel filter on but it's still doing it. Act's like it run's out of gas for a second. I'm going to put another fuel pump on next weekend and I bet it will cure the problem. Check it out.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Congratulations on your New Wagon, Looks Nice! You are Lucky in the USA to find those as Cheap as just $200.ºº, here in my Country any used car will be way more Expensive. Kind Regards.

kabarakh Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I also paid $200 for my EA82, gotta love a good deal It had quite a bit of hesitation, but in my case the fuel filter didn't solve the issue (although it helped substantially) I did however also have a major vacuum leak in one of my hoses. Nice looking Wagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 If it was just sitting for a while it may have bad gas or just crap in the line/tank. New filters and running through a couple tanks will probably improve things. Are all the miles original? Or is it on a rebuilt engine? If its original it might be getting tired.

bheinen74 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow good luck don't want it cutting out, should be a simple cheap repair once you find the issue. most hardware stores have enough parts to fix these. Re-post the issue, hose, FP etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 man i get so jealous of you washington and oregon folks. I did see an EAwagon sitting in a yard with four flats yesterday. I may knock on the door and see if they um... need it removed. I did get my XTDL for 400 and MY GL for 900. so I'm not doing bad. but you guys have it made.

bheinen74 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 seems like the west coast ones they can;t give away for free, and then here in the midwest we can't come across any for less than they sold for new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Not to make you East Coast and Mid West guys jealous but I also got my EA82 for $200. Nice find, I had to convert mine to a D/R from 3at guess its not a 200 dollar car now... oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukiru Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 yeah I am thinking IMPORTATION might be a good plan. I may have to find something I want bad for a great price and come visit you guys to bring it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're describing a typical symptom of that. Replace the vacuum lines with new before investing in a fuel pump. Subarule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
