Anyway, i just did a tune up (plug wires, cap, rotor, timing belt, all the fluids, f. filter, air filter etc.). the car ran fine but i was in 4 lo (and i was getting on it) and all of a sudden it had NO power above 3 grand or so. it has power if you ease the gas into it, but now it wont even climb hills (on the highway going about 55mph). My geuss is it is the vaccum advance for the distributor or maybe the secondary on the carurator......the car is an EA82 in my '86 gl wagon by the way. I havent really looked into the problem yet but i was just curious if anyone knew of the top of their ghead what it could be.

 

Ill post back after this weekend once i look into it, thanks for any help.

Sounds like the vacuum line on the back of the carb that operates the secondary barrel may have come off. Check it out.

Thanks, i'll look into it, ive been trying to clean up the vacuum lines, i havent gotten to that one yet, i probabally knocked it off whille fixing the other vacuum lines.

It's pretty small, only about 3" long or less, so I doubt you did anything to it. I've encountered several that have cracked.
