djbroadus Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 So it seems like every winter, the suby has some hick ups. Currently my car likes to die when I come to a stop when putting the clutch in, but not all the time. It also is hesitating in fourth gear like its not getting fuel sometimes, an then other times runs perfect...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 is your Subie Carbed? ... if So, it might be a Stickin` Choke Plate... or Dirty Spark Plugs / Carb, along with bad Gas / Air Mixture. So, I Suggest you to Start by Checkin` those parts. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I've had two carbed subies that would die when you put the clutch in, but ran great while driving. Turns out they had internal vacuum leaks in the idle circuit of the carbureator, that were starving it when the primary circuit was not open (foot off the gas). I cleaned the carb with carb cleaner, and it just got worse... I cleaned out some important old bit of gasket I think... Might need a new carb :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't resealing the carb be an eay solution? IDK, ever since getting my first MPFI soob, i've been on Automotive Atkins........No carbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djbroadus Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 The idle is not the problem because most of the time it is perfectly fine. Yesterday i was driving back from shelton an it was dumping snow and all of a sudden it just had almost no go, seemed like it was getting no fuel, in second gear just lurching, then i got a strong gas smell. Drove further an it went away an then today it runs like a champ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 That sounds like float and/or needle valve issues in the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Had the same problem on my 87. Turned out to be carb iceing. Make sure that your air heater on the breather is working properly. It took me two winters to figure this out it always seamed like a bad fuel filter or pump but it turned out to be ice build up in the carb.

djbroadus Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Alright well for the time being I think the dieing has been solved. Now on to the next gremlin evil electrical.
