plugged fuel filter?

[hotrod]

i guess that a possability, never really thought of that to be honest, i was assuming spark. it has a check engine light on but its OBD1 and i dont have a scanner that will do one i have an OBD2 scanner.:(

i had a 88 mazda p/u that did the same thing... Took me forever to figure it out... The filter was almost on top of the tank... Fuel filter fixed it...

good luck

cat, converter? had a ford truck do this same thing, ran great except for a certain rpm, it wouldnt do anything, but if you got past it, or before the rpms it ran fine

sometimes with obdI you can get in your book and there will be 2 pins you can cross on the plug with a paper clip or jumper wire and it will make your service light flash a certain pattern when you turn they key on and that pattern will be in defined in your book (haynes)...hope this helps..

I was also thinking cat. converter after the fuel filter struck out... I believe that we had to drill holes into one on an historic road-trip down to the Gorge.... was a Ranger towing a Zuk.

unbolted exhaust before cat... and.... still same thing. :(
also bought a new dist. cap and rotor button and that didnt help either.
noticed that the dist. looked retarded.. ;) so took it loose and forked around with it a bit. got a little better but went up to about 4100 rpm b4 it starts its s41t

**Also, if you mash the skinny pedal from idle it stumbles over itself, clears up about 1300 then starts to its normal bull-snot at 3800 :mad:

im going to buy a chiltons i guess, insted of throwing parts at it

Does it happen anytime, or only when warmed up? Wondering about the o2 sensor.
