My 85 vette will start then stops in 3-4 sec. is this a pump or filter line problem. If I try to excelerate the petal starts to miss

 

Put a fuel pressure gauge on it and see if the pressure drops, then if it's not holding pressure try filter 1st.

 

Sounds like fule

 

with 383vette....sounds like FULE problem.......(OMG) sorry.....

Here is how to test......
••••• TESTING FOR LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE

... Here are the sure fail tests for the fuel system to save you time and money.. Take a fuel pressure gauge attach it to the Schrader valve.. Turn the key on and off a few times to build up the pressure in the system... If you are having starting trouble the pressure will probably drop as soon as it hits 38 or 40 and the pump turns off it will probably leak back to zero within a few minutes. Ok now right after you prime the system pinch off the return line near the tank if the pressure drop stops it is a bad fuel pressure regulator.... Next pinch off the feed line if the pressure holds then the leak is before the point where you pinched the line IE fuel pump check valve..hole in the metal line on the sending unit caused by it rubbing on the inside of the tank you should visibly be able to see this if you pull the pump and the sending unit...(this was my problem) or the pulse dampener which is the piece between the pump and metal line on the sending unit.. the diaphragm tears.. and last if you pinch both the feed and return line near the tank and the leak down of the pressure continues then a fuel injector is your problem.. This is the GM test.. saves time and money..
•• disconnect the vacuum line from fuel pressure regulator

I'm sorry too. Couldn't resist. Listen to Jonh.

Don't step on my bananas, you fule!

 

I wouldnt want missing petals when I excelerate. Got to have all of them to have a smooth flower, you fule

Turn on spell check or tell us English isnt your first language.

Sorry, all in fun!

Thank you ch@0s you made my day this morning.

 

This forum is turning in comedy central. Sorry op, we're really challanged. I would look at fule pressure.

 

Think we are being played. He has 8 posts since he joined:

2/3/2013 claims to have a 2004
4/29/2013 now he has a 89
5/13/2013 must have traded...now a 75
yesterday a 85

Damn he has gone thru more Covette's in a years time.....perhaps he should de-code the vin to see what year car he actually has.....

 

Even a trole should use spell check

 

 

 

With or without your foot on the petal??

 

Check his forum name. "jgyostsc" looks like "egotistic" to me -- from someone who thinks fuie is another name for gasoline.

 

Sorry, but all signs point to......Either he has 3 Corvettes or he's not being very honest .........WW

 

Y'all being played for fules.

 

BAwhaha

 

I love it!!
