My 1987 Pontiac Safari with a 5.0 307 engine has had problems with acceleration when going up a hill or mountain.
The car has 114,000 miles on it and the exhaust/cat system has ben replaced along with the fuel filter.
Keep in mind the car has a 4 bbl carb.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks!
Check vacuum hose and connection on the back of the carb and the hose connection from there to the bottom of the air filtre pan. If that's okay then check the hose to the map sensor, usually mounted on the firewall. Look for cracks in the hoses and remove the hose, carefully and see if it comes away easily or is connected firmly. Since you mentioned your exhaust was replaced, did they put smaller diametre pipe on rather than the large diameter that came from GM? I doubt that's the problem, but worth checking. You had the fuel filtre replaced, so was it installed correctly? Or did
they say it was replaced and they didn't do it? I doubt that's the problem because a dirty fuel filtre usually causes stall> My 1987 Pontiac Safari with a 5.0 307 engine has had problems with
