Gas cut off

10

Asked by Chevy79 Mar 05, 2016 at 02:07 PM about the 1979 Chevrolet C/K 10

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 79 Chevy c10 pick up truck with a 88
Chevy c1500 pick up truck engine, I changed the
fuel pump and check the filters but it still cuts off
when I hit the gas pedal. Like if I'm doing 30 I'm
good but once I hit like 40 or more it cuts off a bit
but then keeps going. What more can I do ?

Everything is good, I checked it and it's just the pump, Can I put the pump closer to the engine so it pumps faster , or will that be the same ? Or how can I know which Manual pump to get ? Because the one I have is an electric and it stays cutting off the gas

could be sparkplug wires grounding out under load. with the engine off, look for gray traces where the wires touch the engine.
