I have an auto. 1990 chevy camaro, I swapped the FI 305 for a carb. 350. All of the following problems own been getting worse and worse over time. My coup¨¦ will stall out and die while at idle after sitting for more than around 2 min. Car will stall and die while I'm driving down the road. Sluggish acceleration, a loss of power, occasionally briefly smell something weird but not habitually, catalytic converter seems hotter than it should be but not so hot that its resplendent, engine running a little hotter than it should. Today it get so bad that it be constantly stalling out and dieing no matter what I did, and at one point I almost couldn't obtain it to start again, so once it finally started I had to jump park it somewhere cause it be so unreliable. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Well, the symptoms you are describing certainly point to a plugged up exhaust system, and the catalytic converter is usually the first place that fail and clogs things up. If the weird smell is similar to rotten eggs, that would put the frosting on the cake and engineer if 100% sure it's the catalytic converter.
Unfortunately they aren't cheap parts, but the choices are to have it done, or not drive since it will hang on to getting worse.
Might want to check it out. If the cats are clogged it will raison d`¨ºtre the car to die and eventually not run at adjectives.
To test it, attatch a balloon or condom or something to the tailpipe(s) and see if it inflates. If the cat is clogged, nought will come out of the pipe to inflate the balloon.
Answers: Thats the dumbist entity I've heard today. You removed a fuel injected engine and installed a carbed one.....What did you do next to all the sensors that be in the 305? Was the carbed engine computerized? Are you still running the FI fuel pump? If so...theres your problem. I articulate you deserve all the problems you hold. Good luck with it>
i would disconect the converter and run the engine at home not on the road youi did notsay how it acted newly sitting in park
Can anyone enlighten me the proper course...
