I have an 86 camaro iroc-z with 65k miles on it, it has the 305 HO engine with a 5spd tranny. It is a great car and i love it, but for some reason whenever it gets warmed up it will start cutting out and bucking whenever i give it any gas. This problem has been very persistent and i have had alot of things done to try to fix it. I had new ignition put in, new fuel pump, and carb jetting adjusted. If u might know what the problem is please let me because i am really sick of this problem.

 

Did you replace the fuel filter? What exactly was replaced for this "new ignition"? How was the "carb jetting" adjusted?

 

Demon 357,

I think I know where 5-7 is going with this one. I'll digress to his expertise, but it sounds like a lean mixture issue to me.

 

I just checked with my dad and i had the fuel filter replaced already. I dont really know what my mechanic did to the carburator, but he tweaked with it and said it was working fine. So i really have no idea what is wrong with it.

 

I would guess it is one of two things: An ignition component that suffers when it gets warm; or a weak fuel pump.

 

I will give you 2 guesses from me. The igntion module.....gets hot starts to lose spark, however this usually causes it to go ahead and die. Or this is a far shot, but it has happened to me twice the distributor has a reluctor under the rotor these are prone to crack with a lot of vibration...Those are my guesses...I would also assume that by new ignition you would have changed the obvious spark plugs and wires.

hmm, i already replaced the ignition module, fuel pump, and plugs and wires. Is there ne thing else it could be?

 

Distributor cap, rotor, coil.

 

Thanks alot for the tips, ill check it out.
