I looked at an 87 TII the other day and took it for a test drive. The owner had claimed it has been sitting in his garage for the past 6 months but he's started it regularly. When I took it for a test drive it idled and drove fine, no overheating and smooth acceleration and was making boost. The one problem it did have was that if I tried to accelerate around a corner it would stumble and then take off once it was going it was fine. I first suspected this could be either bad gas or crap in the fuel filters ? The car is in awesome condition, garage kept its whole life, not a spec of rust in or out one of the nicest i've seen. But this stumbling has me concerned. If its simply a fuel filter thats no big deal. I was also thinking maybe bad ground ? I will add that the engine and fuel system are all stock except for a streetport, the engine has 8,000 miles on it since rebuild.

Any ideas or suggestions would help, should I walk away from it or what..

 

OOoo... look at the sticky for FAQS. I promise it is in there ...and you will learn a bunch more too.
