90 GM running rough

[moparvwfreak]

i recently obtained a 90 MGM with the 5.0 AOD. this thing runs great at anything ABOVE 40mph. under it seems to sputter and run like crap. if i give it a touch more gas it smooths out.

this car ahs a fresh tuneup about 2 months ago, new alt and battery 3 weeks ago, intake and valve covers were done 3 months ago or so. so i dunno what the issue could be. other than needing a good Seafoam treatment and maybe a fuel filter.

so heres my ? to you nice people. the vacuum diagram is gone from this car so i cant find where to do a seafoam treatment other than the brake booster vac line. will that work??? also how hard is it to do a fuel filter on this car? i havent even been under it yet to see where it is but i am hopeing its not in the tank.


thanks guys and\or gals!

Seafoam in the fuel tank and then you can pull the PCV and use a small funnel to SLOWLY pour Seafoam thru that hose. The fuel filter should be under the car near one of the rear wheels - just not sure where it is on a 90. It's near the rear passenger wheel on an '87 and by the rear driver's wheel on an '93.

Check both valve covers. On an '87 it is buried behind the engine just in front of the firewall!!
