95 classic problems

[ihatemycaralot]

My car kind of stutters while I'm driving and occasionally dies when I stop at a light etc. If it doesn't die, it sort of jumps while I have the breaks on a couple times. Anyone know what could be causing this? I want to get it fixed so I can sell it asap. Thanks.

Classic symptoms of a vacuum leak, and it sounds like it's coming from the brake booster.

Could also be a MAF sensor, or weak fuel injection (fuel pressure).

I have a 95 that started to jerk a little at lights/on hills. Instead of easing forward as it usually does when I am at a light and dont have my foot on the brake hard enough, it would jerk forward. I changed my wires and the problem has gone away. = )

My pickup when cold out would shudder and stumble a bit until it warmed up despite the fact that I had rebuilt the TBI with new injectors. New wires, cap, and rotor did the trick. It's amazing how much of an impact ignition has on an engine.

Did you use starter fluid on it before? I did that once on mine, it then back fired and blew the vacuum line off the brake booster. The car never ran the same, until I put that line back on.

wont to sell those rims? I have 9c1 rims but they are all black with no chrome lip. Try changing your wires.


How much do you want for your car ihatemycar? Also, can I have some details about it??? I am thinking of selling my 95 LT1 9c1 and buying a B4C LS1 camaro. If anyone has one, I am willing to trade my car and offer a little cash of course.
