    Carb or Fuel Pump

    Vmax came out of storage, and is running a bit rough. Trouble maintaining idle, no issues with acceleration. Intermittently couching as well. Was stored with seafood in the tank. Any ideas? Nick

    More Fuel Pump Issues???

    So I've been trying to fix my '88 Vmax for the last month and still can't fix this issue with the fuel pump.
