Default Corvette having hickups
Hey all, I am having a small problem with my vette (trying to prevent a big one!). Only when I am driving up hill and accelerating it will "hickup" and stop accelerating for a second and will sputter if you don't let off the throttle for a second. I am guessing the fuel filter (needing replaced anyway) fuel pump? any other ideas? Thanks

Could be your fuel bowls are being emptied. Check your float levels.
