Lack of acceleration


Recommended Posts

Hello all

 

Been a while since i have been on these boards, but now i need a question answered. I have a 88 DL fwd EA82 that has about 195k on the motor and it will not get out of its own way from a stop sign/light. when you press on the gas there is a massive amount of hesitation.....almost like it is starving for fuel...if you sorta pump the accelerator, it will start off slow and then pick up.....ok here is the question:

 

Could the above symptons be a sign of poor fuel pressure? meaning failing or bad pump ? or is it an injector problem ? or filter someplace in the system?

 

:-\ any ideas where to start ?

 

Thanks

My GL never did accelerate? :confused:

 

Even when it was running good!:lol:

 

I'd give it a basic tuneup and see what happens.

For my old hatch a Cap and wires fixed everything evertime.

When was the last time the filters were replaced?

 

For what it's worth,

Glenn

82 SubaruHummer, never did accelerate!

01 Forester, just plain fast!
