Question about my 86 GT

Umoplata · 12-07-2001, 01:30 PM

Ok guy's remember i said my car was cutting out and jerking real bad to the point i would have to pull over?

Yesterday i put a new Fuel Filter on and it has'nt cut out like it was, but once in awhile it will jerk. That is the best way i can explain it, what could this be?

Oh and by the way what kind of fuel pump should i get in case it is this? There are so many and i don't know jack, 190iph or something like that?

I am going to check on the price of a ACT sensor but i don't get paid until Friday.

What do you guy's suspect here? Remember i have put new plugs and wires on it, a new coil, fuel filter.

Is the fuel pump whing loudly? If so, it may be dying. Buy a new one, and be prepared to replace it. Keep in mind, you have to drop the fuel tank to change the pump. This is MUCH easier with the tank near empty. Either have a way to siphon out the fuel, or only put in a few dollars of gas at a time until you change the pump. If your car is naturally aspirated, a 155 lph pump is fine. If you plan on using a blower or nitrous, get a 190 or 255.

No the fuel pump makes no noise, actually nothing makes noise ecxept the exhaust.

I will try the ACT sensor Friday.

make sure you check the o2 sensors, to do that just unplug them and see if the car runs better. happend on an 87 i used to have.
