Well, use 10% ethenol gas and shake it around a lot, then empty it. There is also cleaning stuff you can buy. Same thing happened to my car when I first bought it and I ended up replacing my gas tank.

 

I haven't read all the replies but have you checked for a vaccuum leak by spraying carb cleaner around your intake while its running to see if anything changes?

 

You did not say if this is injected or carborated. However, it sound like the accelerator pump is bad. That is the classic symptom.

check the timing, i can see it doing that if the timing is a little off.

 

If you dont have a volt meter...did you not use one to adjust you new TPS when you put it in???

If not...there you go.

 

i have 85 4runner did the same thing a few years back.I change the whole intake system and it fixed it. Now it is doing it again i think water is getting into my ECU.You can try to chage the ECU it might fix it good luck

 

Start with the timing. If you changed the cap and rotor like you said, you should start here.

 

DONT PUNCH THE THROTTLE!! you'll be fine.

 

well we're gonna try and drop the gas tank and clean it, then replace the fuel pump and prolly the filter too and see if that works. I know it's a fuel dilevery problem bc it'll run off of thorttle body cleaner or startin fluid.

 

you make no sense?

you said you have replaced the fuel pump. and gas "poured out" after the filter??

why would u change it again??

 

my truck did this it was the the air flow meter
stupid mud...

 

ok....so NOW i got it runnin...one of the fuel lines was leakin out fuel. at first it was runnin fine...but when i took it on a test drive it started just spittin and sputterin. sooooooo.....now i gotta figure out what THIS problem is now. bad thing is....it can be one of a bunch of things lol

 

how do you not know its leaking gas? Can you not smell/see gas???

 

possibly a vacuum leakage can cause such issues. But not sure exactly which part

 

well...bout the vacuum leak...i replaced ALL of the lines i could find with new hoses.

BUT.....i got it runnin RIGHT turns out ALL it was was a bad spark plug...sometimes i really hate life lol. so now all i gotta do is get the clutch workin right and she'll be on the road

 

Thats good to know that you fixed it

Only problem for me now is that i just bought new OEM vacuum hoses from this site http://toyotapartszone.com but the only problem is that my car is still a little shaky. I assume its electrical currents not flowing correctly. Any suggestions

 

Might make sure the TPS IDL-E2 setting is connect, if not you'll have a rough idle:

I may be completely off base but I had a 79 cutlass that did the same thing and it was just due to a fowled spark plug.

Ok im try to do that, seems a little complicated but ill try my best thanks for the feedback

ill get back to you guys asap
