Hey guys,
Two months ago I did a 3.0 conversion on my 83 gtv6 with Alfa Import Center in Queens. They did a great job on the engine but ever since, when driving at a fixed speed or accelerating, the car tends to have uneven engine response. It was relatively minor at first, but when I hit a bump, it became terrible and I had to pull into a Pep boys to make sure I was going to get home.
It was a long day. The guys at Pep boys really tried their best but nobody could find what it was. We resorted to replacing the fuel pump. Bad idea. First one was the wrong part, and we ended up, after a long and frustrating day, putting in a big ford unit, with well over 60psi pressure. Now the car runs really rich and still uneven, won't idle either.
What could that unevenness be? Is that the pressure regulator? Spark seems to be fine, and there's no weirdness in the air box, or vaccuum leaks.
Also, si there a cheaper alternative to the $220 fuel pump of IAP? I'm running on an empty money tank here after that conversion...
Thanks
