Having an issue with my car heres a brief description of whats going on , im having an issue with loss of power under acceleration, if I give it gas it wants to fall on its face or runs like it is just flat, with no power
Nothing has been changed on the motor, and symptoms have just showed up today. at first I thought it might be a missfiring plug so I pulled and replaced the plugs (NGK-R's), wires are new(accel) as is the distributer and coil (accell billet vacuum advance unit)
engine is a 350 .030 over (fresh build) with .477 lift cam hydrolic lifter, flat tops with 64cc heads, carb is an edelbrock 1406, performer intake,fuel pump is a mechanical edelbrock unit
So heres my thoughts and input is greatly appreciated, Im thinking I may have a fuel delivery problem.
Could the pump be bad and causing this, also could it be the accelerator pump in the carb or possibly a clogged fuel filter, would something like that cause the above symptoms
Or does it sound like something is amiss with my distributer
Im kinda stuck here, this is my first performance build and its ran quite well all summer and Im stumped (also not sure on fuel pressure as I dont have an inline guage, but will be adding one in the morning as I now see a need for one)
So all this said any ideas on what to check as I really dont want to just throw parts at it until it works again
All help welcome:cheers:
