My car has developed an extremely annoying bucking under acceleration. It started about a week ago, and at first it would only happen while accelerating out of a fast turn. But now it does it all the time while accelerating. It's like the car is oscillating between half power and full power, making it lurch-slow-lurch-slow-lurch-slow. It's like you're riding a bucking bronco or something. The only cure seems to be to get off the throttle completely, upshift, then slowly accelerate.
Anyone have any idea where I should start looking first? |

QUOTE Make sure you have at least 30 PSI available at fuel rails. Factory setting was 28 PSI but that was when gas was "real" gas. Disregard that since you have a carb now. You don't have fuel rails anymore. Your carb only wants about 5 PSI. Check your new filter. If there was a bunch of crap in the bottom of the tank it could have clogged the new filter quickly. |
