Wasteland Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Is it carbed, or F.I.? Check all of your vac lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canajun2eh Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I'd suspect the coil. Before replacing the coil, make sure that the coil's tower is clean. Try running the car in the dark, to see if there's any high-voltage arcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Since it's an 87 4wd it no doubt is a carbed car. Classic symptom of a semiplugged fuel filter The one under the car back by the fuel pump. (Primary fuel filter, the under hood unit is a vapor separator) The one by the fuel pump is often neglected. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo747 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Does the '87 GL SPFI 2WD have a fuel filter by the pump, too? My wife is having similar problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
