is it possible to pinch a fuel line from excessive weight in the car? Just after having two big people sitting in my back seat, my accelerator is now responsive only at first contact... as in, when I accelerate futher down on the pedal, i get no response.. it's all I can do to keep it from stalling.

 

is it possible to pinch a fuel line from excessive weight in the car? I have a 91 camaro with a 305, and just after having two big people sitting in my back seat, my accelerator is only responsive at first contact... as in, when I accelerate futher down on the pedal, i get no response.. it's all I can do to keep it from stalling. Obviously either fuel injection or damaged fuel line, right?

 

I'm not sure about a f-body, but my buddy has an astro with crappy suspension. eventually it sagged so much that it crushed the fuel and brake lines in the back.

 

No, having more weight in the car won't crush your fuel or brake lines. Crush them between what two surfaces exactly???

If you have big fat guys in your car, it'll be more sluggish, but if you mean more so then just due to added weight then there's a problem.

 

thanks for the responses... so what would you guess could cause sudden failure like this?

 

sounds like a fuel filter being plugged.
Anything done to the car recently aside from that? what are the cars specs?

I'd do the fuel filter before anything else, since it's a pretty good cure-all. Then start actually "thinking" about what else it could be.
