84redfox

I have a 84 GT and lately it hasn't been moving like it used to. I thought it was that I've just gotten used to it, but others seem to think the same thing. I don't normally drive my car hard, maybe half throttle pulls once in awhile, but thats mainly it. But today, just to see if I was thinking correctly, I floored it, and sure enough, it is definitely not like how it used to be. I think that my carb isn't opening up all the way because 50% throttle and full throttle feel exactly the same. Is there any other things, or ways I could check to see what's wrong?

Yea my car kinda feels the same at 3/4 throttle as it does at full...is that normal

Yeah, its been getting colder here too. Whats bad is that the lows one week were around 60...and now they are in the 30's.

well redfox i dunno about your problem, i'm not the guy to answer carb questions, but shibby it sounds to me like you need to check your ignition and fuel supply. have the injector pulse checked.

catalytic converters!! check them out, get an offroad pipe they may be clogged.

OK...whats the best way to go about checking this stuff...something i can do or do i need to take it in?
