hesitation

[240billy]

i have a 1990 240 with sohc motor and when i press on the gas really hard it sputters and feels like it is going to cut off and when im driving when i change gears i can feel it hesitate and then it will start accelerating

you might have water getting in somewhere.. try driving it around granny style for a few days then see if it persists..

[240billy]

its been doing it since i got the car around last april and i cant figure out what is causing it do you think it might be something with the fuel

yeah it could be delivery.. i guess the easiest way to test would be listening for the fuel pump.. if you can hear it then that means there's pressure.. next would be the filter. there aren't many ways to test it, so you could just buy a new one and throw it in (very cheap part and 10 minute install).. after that, injectors.. you could try a tank with injector cleaner and see if that all makes any difference.. all in all that fix would be about $20-25.. see whats goin on..
