death upon acceleration

What causes a car to die when you give it gas? This pertains to an 89 century but I figured it was a general question.

Also, if you have bubbles in your coolant resevoir and you know it doesn't need bled, is there any method of finding where the air is getting into the cooling system? This is for my 91 corolla which still has this problem, I just haven't driven the vehicle in months.

Low fuel pressure, clogged fuel filter is the most common on the Buick.

Re: death upon acceleration

No. Either regulator is bad, the pump is bad or the filter is clogged, assuming the pressure is low when tested.
