VIEW    REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  Acceleration Hesitation, Fuel Regulator? 1800 1970 posted by  someone claiming to be Glenn in Houston on  Wed Jul 23 17:58 CST 2008 [RELATED] I have a '70 1800e that I'm bringing back to life as part of a 3-yr rolling restoration. The problem I'm now working on shows up during acceleration. When accelerating there is a "pause" at around 3k rpm. It feels like the engine doesn't get enough gas for a second or two until it breaks past this rpm and then is fine(e.g. engine continues to pull strongly up through the acceleration curve). I've got all new fuel lines, filter, and fuel pump. The FInjector internals have been cleaned with solvent/cleaner and don't seem to be the problem. My concerns are the Fuel regulator (which holds steady at 30psi when at idle) and the distributor contacts. I've cleaned and checked the operation of the distributor contacts so I don 't think that's the problem now either. Any thoughts on where to go next? How can I check the performance of the Fuel regulator during the entire acceleration cycle? Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
