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

 

Steve

My GL never did accelerate?

 

Even when it was running good!

 

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!

Glenn,

 

 

I deffinately know that my DL will never be a power house, but, when you floor it to get going ther is a delay b4 moving will check the main filter for replacement date tune up was bout 9 months ago with cap wires and roter...

 

thanks

well, i had a plugged cat on a pickup that did the same thing..but could be fuel, vacuum leak, fouled plugs, etc.. good luck..

i have a 2bbl in my DL ...got it cleaned up and she does allright...its a crap shoot

spark.................

Yup, I'd vote 4 fuel filter/carby.
