weird request.
im asking this question on other websites also.
does anybody in SoCal have a dual carb or triple carb setup laying around i can borrow for a few months? my F/I is giving me too many problems and i need something primitive. I will come and pick up if need be. Im in Long Beach and i promise you will get the setup back when i convert to all new turbo f/i setup. i also need the linkage. thanks guys.

Re: weird request.
it runs fine on the street. when i get on the freeway, after about 10 minutes it starts putting and missing. if i give it FULL throttle then it seems ok. but when i let off full and try to cruise, it starts missing bad. when i get off the freeway and stop at a light, it is running like it is on 4 or 5 cylinders. after about 5 minutes of street driving, it is back to perfect.
i dont know what the hell is going on. ive been in that engine bay for days trying to figure out what it is. its pissing me off and i feel like redlining the damn engine and blowing it just to move onto my new motor sooner.

Re: weird request.
I had the same problem with my 82 zxt, but it was at low speeds b/t 25 and 40, then when i would floor it she would sputter and then get up and go. I never solved the problem and the car is still sitting, if you figure it out please let me know. I am guessing it is clogged injectors, but don't know for sure.

Re: weird request.
What have checked on your diagnosis? The AFM, TPS, coil wires, spark plug wires, plugs, loose connectors in the engine bay, oil pressure readings, compression check, and several other things are culprits that could make your car run bad. I had the same problem, and it turned out to be a couple of things: 1. The wires going to the ignition coil were so old that the bends in the wires were pinching it so that little voltage was going to the coil. 2. A minor oil leak due to a bad oil return tube gasket had caused my oil pressure to go low and make the car sputter. 3. Old plug wires with a bad connection to the plugs was causing misfire and hesitation. Those were the main three that were the problems I had, I hope that helps you out some. I had some other minor fixes, but those again were my biggest ones. Good luck with solving the problem.
