for some reason, since Friday, my 89 cabrio has decided to act like she is running out of gas on a full tank (bogging sensation as if fuel isnt getting to the cylinders). my initial thought was maybe a filter, so i check the filter and its fine. but then i notice that its not consistent in that it only does it when there is a load, i.e. 3rd, 4th or 5th over 3 grand and past half throttle. its not the same cylinder(s) misfiring so i dont think its a spark related issue and it doesnt feel like an afm, which iv had a lot of experience with. so i would imagine it would have to be fuel related. then today i managed to run into a friend and explained the issue while driving side by side and gave him a demonstration of the effects and the first thing he said he noticed was that it smelled rich of gasoline. then on the way home from the gym later that night, i realized a faint smell of gas coming out from the engine bay while at idle.
now i only have a suitable work place on mondays and wednesdays at school and i have not had the opportunity to run actual pressure tests or anything of that nature thus far. just trying to see if there is anyone thats been in this position before or might know where to begin looking. any POSITIVE input is appreciated and if u have any questions feel free to ask. thanks.
