Asked by GuruWLK82 May 04, 2018 at 04:25 PM about the 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I've been working on a 1982 Chevrolet
Camaro with a 305 V8 4 barrel carburetor
and I'm having problems with hesitation on
acceleration. Idles fine, but upon
acceleration wants to die or hesitate. I've
replace the carburetor, distributor, distributor
cap, rotor, wires, plugs, fuel pump fuel filter
and the ECM computer. All of these repairs
have not fixed the problem. Any
suggestions? And Thanks for your time!

It could be the EGR valve. Try disabling it by unpluging the vacuum hose to it and plug the hose with with a screw.
