Default Another thing to add to pryor problem!

I forgot to mention this earlier. Advice for "82" crossfire Even when my car is "seamingly" running fine, every time I push the gas pedal down quickly for passing, or freway entery-which I haven't been on due to spiratic behavior- or even if it is just parked and running and rev it up it will just die or at the very best barely stay running. However I can slowly accel and it is fine-up until it shuts off as I spoke of earlier. Could this also be due to a ground problem? Thanks for your advice thus far.

Doesn't sound like a ground problem. if you can accelerate slowly and cause the problem when you hammer it....it wouldn't be a ground.

Have you checked the EGR?

What is the oil pressure at when this problem occurs?

Besides the mentioned...what's the FP set to? 14psi is where you should be. Fuel pressure is "very" important on a CFI motor.
