86 2.8 v6 .. stalls when gas is pressed
I have an 86 2.8 v6 ...it dosent do it all the time but when it does its very irritating. .. it starts fine but once I press the gas is drowns out and sometimes completely dies ..it was a high idle at times and I've noticed that most of the time when it acts up the idle gets very high ( no tach so I don't know the rpms) ...ive changed fuel filter , wires , cap and button ...also fixed a few vacuum leaks ...any suggestions ?

no sir, i have the same problem, only on cold starts though, once it warms up its okay so just try wasiting a few minutes before touvhing the gas and when you finally do press the gas, hold it for 15 seconds, thats usually what does it for me

Your Camaro has a carb & the other is fuel injected.

Did not notice that he had a fuel injected car, my bad, even if it is fuel injected thoug, cold starts could still cause it to bog out

Re: 86 2.8 v6 .. stalls when gas is pressed
Thanks for the suggestions ... I was leaning toward the temp sensor ...it started getting worse, it was like I would loose fuel pressure while driving and I would have to pull over cut car off and when cut back on it would drive ... the craziest thing though I cut the muffler off 2 days ago and I haven't had a problem since ,it actually drives a little better now
