hi guys, i have a suzuki sj413 with a 1.6 8v carb engine from a vitara.
Recently i have been having issues with the running of the car....
for example under load when accelerating i get a very strong hesitation then appears to start misfiring. the car loses power and will not go above 2,000rpm.
i initially replaced the spark plugs, leads, dizzy cap and arm as these had all seen better days. this made no difference.
i then checked a website out that said that when the fuel pumps were failing you have symptoms that matched my description.
so i replaced the fuel pump, this made an improvment briefly then reverted back to its old ways.Mad
now i can drive it for a few miles and its fine then it will start misifring, if i rev the engine hard the hesitation goes away and all seems well, this is leading me to believe it may be a fuelling issue?!?!?!

has any1 had this kind of problem or similar or can any1 help please????

cheers the fiddler

I'd try the fuel filter too before anything else, sounds like fuel starvartion when it needs it most.
