xXMatt_22Xx Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is it your thunderbird or whatever? that's definitely carbureted. probably point ignition. Clean your cap first, then carb! May be time for a carb rebuild brother! Ill put money on one or the other fixing it! check the plugs after you fix it for what i described earlier, just as a good measure! Have a good one man!

EP95 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 How does your car idle? There's a good chance it might need to be adjusted. Bad ass car by the way. Thanks man. Thing is it idles fine, maybe a little rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is it idles fine, maybe a little rich. Try disconnecting the carb and cleaning the inside. If it still cuts off then I would definitely get a vacuum gauge on it.

Ahmed Johnson Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Don't get the stuff you put in your gas tank to clean it until you manually clean the inside. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFFYBOI Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sounds like something with the distributor. If it idles fine in park don't mess with your throttle body.

ParDeus Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sounds like something with the distributor. If it idles fine in park don't mess with your throttle body. The problem is elsewhere This is horrible advice. Just saying. What's happening here is when the engine is loaded, it dies. Usually a vacuum issue. Steps- Verify timing and timing curve, very simple Check for vacuum leaks-is it a vaccum advance distributor? Check fuel pressure If all that is good, it's probably going rich off idle. Whatever carb it is, clean the metering system. Again, very simple. If that doesn't work, lean it out a bit. If you don't know how, post up the model and I'll show you. Also, check that all external adjustments on the carb are secured, as in not vibrating in one direction or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP95 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 So I adjusted the idle down and tuned the jets to where its no longer rich as hell and got it to keep running when I press on the gas a little bit but anything over about half throttle it just sputters and dues out. Gonna get my teacher to help diagnose the problem. Ill post back around 2:30 Edit. Spent class putting a transmission in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParDeus Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Probably something in the metering system hanging open, caused by gunk. Do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
