I dont know where to start please help. I have a 82 truck with 22r. When it is about 60 degrees out side and i am cruzin down the road it acts up like it is running out of gas, so i let up a little on the throttle or down shift and its ok until i try to give it some more gas. Like i said, this only happens when it is warm out side, i figured maybe vapor lock but it never did this last summer what gives? fuel pump, carb, or maybe fuel lines?

thanks, Clayton

it shouldnt vaporlock at those low temps. i had a 84 2wd 22re do that in AZ but the temps were twice that 115-120+ :no no: i would check your fuel lines to see where they are running also change the fuel filter. it may be time to rebuild the carb. if the float level is to low it will lean out. good luck :beer:
