texasjack Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have an 83 GL sedan with a 1.8 pushrod engine that will start but dies when I attempt to accelerate above an idle. It spits back through the carb and dies. The previous owner installed new guts in the distributor. I checked the plug wires and they are correct and checked the timing, it is good. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you Texasjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
