Stalling problems, Chevy 305
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:42 pm
Hoping you guys can help diagnose a couple of problems with my mates chevy astro van (its an automatic)
Running a holley carb (unsure of size) and electronic distributor
Just recently, if you floor the throttle from a standstill, or whilst only just moving, the engine initially revs, then pops back through the carb and stalls., weve tried adjusting the timing to no effect
Its Not done this before so we are a bit perplexed.
If you floor it whilst on the move it accelerates nice and smoothly
Other problem is when pulling up to a junction and braking firmly the engine will stall say 75% of the time, have fitted a thermal carb spacer but again doesnt seem to have made a difference (although the carb stays much cooler now)
Any help much appreciated!!
