djbroadus Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well thought I had solved the problem with vacuum hose leak, this morning stumbling on the highway again. Hose is fine not the issue I am wondering if it might be the ethanol they start adding to the gas here in oregon in the winter? If not that, something is up with fuel delivery.

85Sub4WD Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 honestly, when I was carbed, I had to readjust everything for summer vs. winter - the other possibilities are a worn-out fuel pump, clogged fuel filter/air filter, and condensation in the gas tank - many products are made to clean the fuel system/condensation out - I would go ahead and try one how are your plugs, ignition wires, cap, rotor? those can cause highway problems as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ethanol should take care of any water/condensation issues. That's what HEET and other gas dryers are made of. It's possible that it might be fuel-related, but if it's vacuum it should be most noticable at idle. I would also look at the distributor cap/rotor, coil, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbroadus Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Just re did plugs, wires, coil, cap rotor, both fuel filters less than 2 weeks ago. gonna go pick up some gas drier we'll see it is quite moist here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Jim Maple Ridge Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You might want to look at your rear filter to see if there is any water in there. If there is you could have a rust hole in your fill tube or vent tube. Just a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
