intermittent acceleration problems- TD 82 caddy
« on: April 16, 2007, 03:31:05 pm »
For some reason my caddy just looses acceleration every once in a while.

It usually happens when I am starting from a stop or try to accelerate quickly- but not always. Just really random.

anyhow. I just had my injector pump replaced and it is still happening. It was only happening for about 3 days before i replaced the pump.

I will be pressing the gas pedal when all of a sudden , i can't accelerate even if I push it to the floor. Given a couple of seconds it usually kicks back in.

any ideas??????

Thank you all

Did you do the easy stuff like check the fuel system for restriction such as a blocked filter or water separator or fuel tank pickup screen? Look for air bubbles in the clear fuel line supplying the fuel pump.
