hello friends i have a rebuilt 1988 305 tbi with long tube headers, 10.1 comp, flat top pistons, and puter compatible street performance cam. (idk specs on cam)
it will sputter and hesitate terribly on acceleration, even light acceleration. I accelerate very slowly not to get the problem. Check engine light is NOT coming on. It did this to me once the other night and drove fine yesterday and this morning. Got stuck in heavy traffic this evening and when I went to accelerate the problem occured and was present the entire drive home

i have had it run great for a week before and then it will hesitate when you take off or die and then be almost impossible to restart. Then the next day start right up and then you shift it into gear (auto) and it dies or almost dies. It burs rich and the it acts like it has no fuel when you start it so you have to floor it. runs great at high rpm, if you an get it there.

intermittent problems suck!

the only original part that i can think of is the throttle body and the spray of the injectors seems fine. Do you think it would need a chip for the computer? some one said that maybe the o2 sensors dont get hot enough with long tube headers but i dont know what the symptoms of that are. valves also clack at high rpm sometime no matter where the timing is. anything is helpful
