Car surges!
 

Please help me with my car before she gets sent to the chop shop!! I have an 82 C.E. with the dreaded Crossfire Injection. I just recently did a tune up on it thinking that might be the problem. Nope! She still surges if you are barely taking off. I drive this car easy as I have enough fast cars to satisfy my needs(who am I kidding!) You can floor this car from a stop and it doesn't have the pick up that I think it should have. It won't even break the tires loose. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I enjoy this car but GRRRRR......... is that damn hesitation annoying.

Thanks in advance!

Ya have an automajic tranny, right?
I had a 475 hp monster that wouldn't spin the tires unless I had it in neutral, and then slammed it into gear with the throttle down. I hate automajics. [:@]I think the tranny is the prob. She runs great other than the hesitation outa the hole, right? So now that I've had my rant, :D do ya feel the hesitation in the throttle responce or gettin' the power to the wheels. :eek:

So when you step on the gas, it bogs down for a second or so and then the power comes in? Could be timing or timing advance. I would check there first. Second thing to check on is gas filters and making sure that your injection system is clean, as well as checking the choke stuff. I haven't even looked at a crossfire in a while, but a half-open choke can bog down until the air starts flowing in.

Thanks for the info guys, and hell yeah its a stinking auto. If it wasn't an 82CE I would take the motor and tranny out of my 97Formy and have a blast! For the time being I will leave her stock. I do plan on putting some long tube headers and a "small" cam in it!! That should wake it up just a bit without taking too much from the value.
