i have a 1983 Trans Am, the carb. is a quadrajunk, completely unconsistant. one minutes it idles fine, next it wont. went to switch it out, water was covering my air filter, not good, i think i got water in my clutch, and now its shaking at 25mph, dont gain power very fast, then out of no where i'll get a boost of power. i would appreciate it if i could get some help on this, being as i know nothing about my car, just know how to drive it. feel free to txt or call to help me out. 575-605-6914. thanx

 

ok 1 first question where did the water come from?,second did you have carb problem's before the water?,how did you get water in the clutch

 

im not sure where the water came from, its been raining here for a while, but im not sure how that would work, because the ram air deal was closed, its the only time its ever happened. and ya the carbs been a pos for a while. and my dad said i might've gotten water in the clutch, not sure how though. that was his explination for it shaking and not gaining power, that or a bad tank of gas.

 

if water is in the carb its in the intake and possibly in the motor. have u ran it since the water was found? if so check the oil and see if its milky. if it is change it, water shouldnt effect your clutch. its prolly shaking and running bad b/c u have water in the cylinders that needs to be ran off. run it until it gets to operating temp and get on it a lil to make sure u get what water is in there out...

 

i've drivin it to work a few times and around a couple times, but yes i have drivin since then. i'll be sure to check the oil when i can. and my dad said it might be the egr acting up. i have to bypass that in order to put the new carb in too.
