Engine issues with 87 tbird

Blead air out of fuel rail,that should help.

Really? Never thought that could be an issue. Will give it a try. I ordered a pressure test kit. So, i will do it prior to checking the pressure. Thanks for the new idea.

Check this out.....if the car was run on "bad" gas ..( like its been cinamon topped or an old used coffee filter bad?) you have probally many issues however chk the "inirtia switch" in trunk test fuel pressure if low or none i would pull the tank if its scary i would replace with a donor from used cl add or somthing...And u probally have plugged exhaust (cat converter) drop it right at the manifold (unbolt it) and fire it up. If u are of higher skill level a vacum gauge on manifold vac port will tell u the whole story without droping the exhaust

DO WHAT,you sound like you on dope or something.to original poster,change fuel filter do the air blead.as for the rad over flow tank ,just old collent,you may want to do a flush and fill on rad,dont use the 50 50 premix,use 100% antifreze.

Thanks all. The fuel pressure was 18psi. Seems kinda low but definitely enough to get fuel to the engine. I'm just gonna add more fresh gas. There was probably some bad gas i wasnt able to get out of the tank. I've been hesitant to add more gas cuz its kinda hard to get rid of old gas. Especially the 16gals i originally pulled out.
