well its a starting problem, but its not a starting problem


ok well anyways my ignition switch went out so i got a new one and put it in and cranked it up. It started fine but when you pump gas to keep it goin it dies and it feels like im not getting fuel to the carberator. wat do you guys think it is?

 

What?

Seriously.

Start over, this time a little more detail.

 

So, it starts just fine, and idles just fine. But, whenever you push down on the accelrator, it dies. Is that what we are hearing?

 

That part I got I think.

A little more detail would go a long way, esp if we're going to give a diagnosis over the internet. *It dies when I push the gas* could be any number of things.

Did this just start?
Did this start after the issue with the ignition switch?
Did you do a recent tune up? If not, when was the last one?
Does this happen at operating temps? Cold?

This list gets longer, however, those questions could get us started.

 

Ya sorry i kinda was in a hurry to get out the door when i wrote that. so i can start the car up fine it doesn't stay on for more than 2 seconds. I didnt mean when you hit the gas it cuts off, i was saying that when you hit the gas it should keep runnnig am i right, well when i hit the gas nothing happens so i cant keep it going and it dies. i just got a brand new battery and ignition switch.

I looked in the valve on the carb and hit the gas pedal and i dont see any gas getting to it. So my dad said that you can just poor gas directly into the carb and it should keep it going. Well that didn't work so i don't no what it is. Sorry about the non detailed first one.

 

1st off dont pour gas in the carb while its running if it was to backfire ud be burnt up!!!!!

its probably got a bad accelerator pump on the carb what kind of carb do u have?

 

somehow i new that was bad idea but i cant say no to him , i have the original 2 barrel 302

 

the acclerator pump is hooked up tp the linkage its located on the front of the carb pick up a rebuild kit from autozone there about 16$ and swap out the gaskets on the carb the diaphram probably has a hole in it

 

ok well anyways im just glad its not an electrical problem ive been having a lot of thoes lately with the cars in my driveway. well thanks

 

and how easy is it to take off and install a new one?
