Car spudders &! it looses power?
 
85 gs, all stock. except the cats are hollowed out. when im slowing gaining speed, not opening the throttle alot, it jerks and sputters? when i throw the throttle wide open i got lots of power and no spudder. Also when i hit it hard to 7k then shift to 2nd and still push it, at 6k i loose alot of power

can some of yallzzz guru's help me figure this out :)

thanks guys!!

Sounds like a carb problem. How do the plugs look? Black? Check to see if your choke is sticking shut. Check for vacuum leaks. Check fuel pressure and volume.

i changed the plugs and im getting alot better performance, i think it spudders at low RPM because theres barely any backpressure cuz of hollow cats and i think the fuel filter hasnt been changed in ages

change that fuel filter and let us know how that helps.

EDIT - check out the FAQ at the top of the forum. Sterling has written up some excellent carb tech articles. They might help you.
