88 camaro 350 tbi stumbles and stuters when i start driving up hills?

88 camaro 350 tbi stumbles and stuters when i start driving up hills or a pass?


i have to pull over every 25feet or so or crawl at like 15 miles an hr to make it up the hill, then i guess its ok on flats but feels pretty sluggish. its almost like its a fuel problem?

it can be your transmission or your carburator if it stalls


when going up on hills its your transmission and may what


to check the manyfold that is what gives your car power when


its runing

i would definetly check timing. and fuel pressure





and do a nice tuneup..





maybe get the injectors on the tbi flow tested to see how there working





those tbi units are terrible. ive had nothing but problems with them





FYI: i usually dont bash on other people answers..but sandra obviously has no clue what shes talking about...no carburator because your tbi...from how your describing it is not a transmission problem and i have no clue what else there talking about
Reply:Test your fuel pressure. Have you changed the filter lately? Is there a leak? Test your injectors. An easy way to do this is remove the air filter housing, start the vehicle, unplug the wiring harness going to one of the injectors. If it dies the other injector is not putting out enough fuel. If it stays running the injector is good. Do the same for the other one.
Reply:Most likely fuel pressure. TBI spec approx 8-12 psi.





Common on these for pump to be bad and not able to pump enough gas going uphills.....bigger load on pump.
Reply:probly not fuel,, sounds like the converter is cloged,, or you have a egr valve sticking,,,It also could be out of time, timeing chain could be stretch or even jump a tooth ,this will cause the valve train to open too soon or too late when the piston reaches top dead center, thus would cause slugish power,,, does the engine smoke?? rings could be bad low compresion,, start simple Im giveing you posibilties,, But I would go with the converter and egr first,,,then ignition timeing, and so forth,,
