The Cutlass Is Dead


Recommended Posts

Posted

well i finally got my z back up and running at a friends shop (had 6 bad injectors)

 

a friend and me brought it home i took him home and on my way back the cutlass started having power issues i had to give it alot of gas to just get moving

 

i get the cutlass home and it sounds like its missing u could hear loud popping through the intake and u give it gas it dies out now i can barely get it started and if i do it sounds like its missing

 

anyone have any ideas???

 

i`m thinking igntion or injectors

 

i have the 3.4 DOHC motor

my top 2 guesses.

 

#1 pump

 

#2 extremely clogged filter

 

my money is on the pump.

i say it sounds like the pump. When you change the pump, change the filter too.

how hard is it on the w-bodys when i changed the tank filter tank pump and fuel filter on my z24 it was kind of a pain in the butt

My 88' tank pump is accessed through the trunk floor.

 

The fuel filter is even easier under the body near the B pillar.

Your 88 must be modified then, because a stock 88 (and all W-bodies) need the tank dropped to get to the pump.

 

It is a pain.

maybe you think it's funny, but i didn't think i was a good of enough mechanic to do it. I make a living working on computers, not cars.
