my 82 has not ran in like 2 and half years, and ran just recently, gave it a full tank of shell v power with sea foam and injector cleaner, it pured like a kitten, well today i took a girl out in it and tried to impress her, as i slightly tapped the gas it started making a popping noise... i didnt get on it hard but everytime i tapped it slightly it would pop and start to die. what is the issue, could i be out of gas, the gauge says half and i think its right because i have only driven maybe 50 miles on this full tank. could it be timing? could it be spark? im really worried ive done alot of work to get it running after 2 years of sitting, i really dont want to tear it apart again! what do you guys think?
Could be lots of things, but I would check the fuel pump, especially the rubber connector in the tank. They have a habit of failing, and the symptom is similar.
i went ahead took the pump out tapped it with a wrench to get anything thats making it stick to not stick anymore... i put it back in again and it runs fine now! Thanks wombvette
