I need help!!!!!
On sat. afternoon on my way home my 87 gta started bucking popping sputtering and generally running like crap and not lettin me get over 30 miles per hour.I couldent give it any gas or it would lose all power and stall. I got home and the check engine light came on so I jumped the ALDL and got a code 44 o2 lean.
I got a new o2 sensor today and the problem is still there.
Help I need this car to get to work tomorrow!!!!!
87 gta 350 tpi auto recent plugs cap rotor maf and now o2
also I did fill it up at a gas station I dont usually use

 

change your fuel filter, if thats not it perhaps your fuel pump took a crap on you...

or even maybe theres water in the fuel...

 

Had a similar problem when I swapped a 350 in my 86 Z-28. It turned out to be the cap and rotor. Also check all your plug wires.

 

I had that problem on my caddy
I changed the distributor, the wires, plugs...still no good
It was my fule pump.....so give it a check I tested mine and was only getting 6 psi!..that should fix the problem...while your at it get a hi-po one what the hell
Hope this helps man

Do a tune up. I have found on both my old 2nd and 3rd gen that they eay ign parts like candy. Even if it is not even time or close for a good full tune up, it fixes everything.

Both times I spent days, wekks and mlotsof money chasing codes and crap and all I needed to do was a good tune up, even thought it wasnt done that long ago.

 

That seems to be a good start.
But doe any one else have any ideas about my problem?

 

anything could happen. What all have you checked and ruled out???
