im picking up an 87 GXL off a board member today and the car is in real good condition and runs good but stumbles and cuts out at like anything over around 2500rpms. do i need a new fuel filter is it clogged? or do i need to buy new injectors? if its the filter can you point me towards somewhere cheap to pick one up and same for the injectors. thanks

 

i just ordered the fuel filter from autoparts.com for $16 but do you really think this is my problem?

 

try a full tune up, plugs all filters and liquids

 

yeah could be bad plugs. how long have you let it run for? change the oil and then rev it to redline a few times. before you change the plugs try the ATF trick. Also make sure that all the grounds are good. Never hurts to add a few more.

 

i dont think the ATF trick is going to help you here...id change the plugs before you even considered doing that.

 

You should probably do a full tune up anyways when you buy that car. just to see if there is anything else wrong with it. But most likely no. hehe

 

whats so bad about the ATF trick? i thought it was good for your car restoring the compression? only thing is that you have to replace the plugs and o2 sensor at the most.

because i was gonna do it, should i not?

 

whats the ATF trick?

 

puttin automatic transmission fluid in your engine....threw the spark plug holes....I woudn't mess with it.
