car dies when pushing the gas pedal?

[whitepony]

ok this is my set up. F-cam,65 thb,ported stock intake,stock shaved heads and ported, underdrives. timing is set at 14

now this is what is happening when i start the car its hard to start it wants to but doesn't for about 5 turn overs, and then when it does i just tap the gas and it dies even if i try and feather it it will die but not all the time sumtimes it wont do it but then all of a sudden it will do it.
anything would help anything iam getting sick of it.
thanks mike and i have a holley 190 fuel pump, would it be my fpr? or timing not advanced enough?

Did it all of a sudden start happening one day or after you changed something?

i changed the fuel filter and then it started to happen ( i made sure it was on the right way twice), could it be my timming or maybe when i hit the gas its putting way to much in there all at once ??
anything will help thanks

It's possiable that you got a defective fuel filter or got something in the lines while changing the filter. I would replace the filter and try flushing the lines to make sure that it's clean. Then move on to the next thing.

ok i'll try that but how do i flush the lines? i have never done that before. and if that dont work what do you think tyhe next thing would be to do ??

thanks

The easiest way is to disconnect the fuel line at the rail and have it point to a bucket. Have someone turn the key on to power the pump and let it pour into the bucket for a couple of seconds. Then connect the lines and repeat. Then diconnect again and repeat for a second time. Then put your new fuel filter on. While doing this have the filter bypass with a strong rubber fuel hose. If you dont see the fuel come out constantly then you either still have shyte in the lines or a bad pump.

You can also take the return line off at the tank if it is any easier for you and put a rubber hose unto it for extention to the bucket.

Good luck

After that, if your still having problems you can check the TPS and see if it is working properly. Better yet check that before you disconnect the lines.
Good luck

The volt meter should be set to DC current. Key on/engine off. But go though the range off motion (open the throttle) to make sure there is not a break in the ciruit.
Good luck

it sounds right, except for the color wire. Black is ground and the other color is either orange green. Check both I don't remember.
