Like the title says my completely factory 86 w150 318 is giving me a lot of trouble. The truck starts amazing, idles great and after it idles a bit i can rev the motor in park and the truck reacts just fine. However, when in gear when i get on the gas it just won't move. The first 1/6 of the throttle moves the truck like normal, however any amount of throttle after that just leaves the truck bogging down till i relieve the throttle to that first 1/6 range. The truck a couple weeks ago would run great for about ten miles but then cut off and refuse to restart and then have the symptoms i just stated if it did start. I inherited the truck from my step father and needless to say it hasn't seen many miles in the last ten years. What i have done so far to attempt to fix the issues is as follows:
1) replace fuel filter (old one was nasty, but haven't seen much improvement)
2) disconnect egr (guy at work said it could help, but who knows)
3) disconnected the two lines that run from the carbon filter thing mounted on the bottom passenger side of the engine bay (read somewhere those can rupture and release all sorts of junk in the carb after it has been running ~10 mins or so)
Im finally frustrated enough to come ask for help :4-dontknow:.... suggestions on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated
