Fury 109,
If the fuel supply is slow from a weak fuel pump or dirty fuel filter, the
engine does not like to run with a lot of throttle. A lot of throttle needs
a lot of fuel.
You didn't mention what year car you are having trouble with. Assuming it is
a pre-computer car, I would suspect the ignition system. Check the dwell
first, and if it is good, then my next guess would be the ignition coil.

Subject: [FWDLK] Fuel probs?
Teach the engine dummy.. please.
My Buick is ailing. Not on topic, but I have to have help because I have NO
money. I was driving along tonight and the engine started chopping badly.
Power cut out, brakes went out (They don't work unless the engine is runnin
) The engine sputtered and died. I can start it after a few minutes of
cranking. To keep it running, I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it
running. If I let off, it dies. Fuel filter possibly?
