1989 Formula with broken wings

I went to start my ride up and clear off the snow on it. It was idling fine while I was brushing off the snow. When I got in it and went to pull out, the rpm's died and the car stalled out. I start it up again and the same thing happened. It starts fine and idles fine, but when acceleration is applied the engine wants to die out! ANy help will be greatly appreciated.

First guess would be the fuel filter. Maybe iced, but probably plugged.

Also, try letting it warm all the way up before you drive. Mine isn't too fond of cold either, mostly an ignition thing, I think/hope. Once it's warmed up though, it goes normally.

Are you in Chicago or Chicago burbs? Email me. reno9114@yahoo.com
