Slow acceleration uphill

Post by **cobblers25** » 15 Sep 2010, 10:04

The van has started having loss of acceleration uphill almost conking out, the engine also feels like it misfires from time to time. Any ideas?

Lack of fuel getting to carb?

Drop down a gear?

Hi,

Common problem. Could be fuel pump pushrod wear - do a search on here; loads of stuff on it...

Or could be a fuel filter blocked with crap.
