Running problems

[koabi at seeohdee.com (koabi)]

Could be the fuel filter, or anything else that is causing a drop in
fuel pressure.  I've had the pressure regulator fail once, but it didn't
affect the car too much.  That may be something else to look for though
(fuel will be coming out of vac line).

Subject: Running problems

The car runs well when cool it seems, but today, on the way back after a
40 
miles drive the car ran REALLY poorly.
The tach signal is ok, but the power drops tremendously. Putting
pressure on 
the accelerator causes the car to "stall" and run even worse.
If I let the car idle, it seems ok till I try to add more gas, then the 
porformance dies again.

It feels like when the fuel pump died before, but this is a new one (3 
months) from the guys at Adirondak.

Any ideas guys?
