RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 You need to run a fuel psi test, should be 9-13psi if I remember right. How strong is your spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 strong... i took the coil wire off and set it against the motor... got good spark.. i guess i can check the fuel pressure.. but i ahve no tester... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 what about spark at the plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hmm..does it shut off while it's in park when hot or when it's in drive and hot? If it does when it's in drive and hot, and you give it a few and put it in park then does it start up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 wil die in park, or in gear... if its in park when its starting to die.. i cna hold the gas to the floor, wont go above like 3k rpms... jsut holds there spitters and sputters... then slowly dies out. im gonna change the fuel pump and see if it fixes the problem.

el aguila Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Yea check your fuel pressure. TBI's need around 9-13 psi, anything less and it can do what youre describing but I dont think an Acclaim is TBI is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 probably the fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
