hey guys i know you all will have a blast with this one but i cant seem to figure out the problem area on my 4 AFE!
The car idles great. I can up the throttle and the rpm will increase with out any break or hessitation in increase while idleing. NOW when under a load ( in drive or reverse) under any acceleration the car hicups randomly in 1st , 2nd and 3rd gears. From about 700 accelerating up to about 3000 rpm it does this hic up randomly then when it hits 3000 it sounds good and accelerates with no hessitation up as high as i want to take it.
I have changed the spark plugs, fuel filter cap rotor and wires in the last 1000 miles and this did not start happening untill after i fixed the fuel filter. which leads me to beleive its a fuel pump, or filter, or the strainer for the pump... IDK. before i start tearing into anything major i thought i would ask to see if maybe someone was experiencing the same type of problem.
Also,,, got curious and pulled the back seat up to reveal the little acces panel over the fuel tank. wires go into it and its 2 bolts that hold the panel on then under its about 7 bolts to get to what i thought was the fuel pump assembly and pump and strainer but pulled out what looked to be the fuel sending unit and the little lever to measure the amount of gas. Were the hell is the fuel pump and strainer any ideas???
Sorry bout the huge post but any help is appreciated guys.
