Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I have an '86 cutlass supreme brougham 4dr that i love. It has 145,000 miles on it and lately it has been hesitating/stalling after coming to a stop and the going. It doesn't stall when I come to a stop only right when I give it gas. I'm not flooring it so I don't think it's getting too much gas. It also diesals after i turn it off and starts up rough. This doesn't happen everytime i start it up or turn it off, but often enough to worry me. If i let it run for a minute or rev the engine when i start it, the engine runs smoothly, but there is a cloud of blue smoke that comes from the tailpipe. I don't know if all of these problems are related. I just had the timing adjusted a week ago. The diesaling has only occurred once since then (as opposed to once or twice a day) but the stalling and hesitation have worsened. Any help would be appreciated.

Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 CHECK YOUR FUEL PRESURE, POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP, COULD EXPLAIN THE STALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJVetteGuy Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Might be a good idea to check your canister purge valve also. I've seen a few have a ruptured diaphragm which allows the engine to suck raw fuel from the tank. Used to be a fairly common problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 looks like it was the fuel pump. It statrted smelling like gas and when i looked, the pump was spraying gas on the engine <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. Getting it changed now.
