Hi I have a 1985 pontiac Trans Am 305 4brl 5 speed standard car has 106000klm on it I put new exhaust, wires and plugs, the car has been stored for the last 12yrs and started at least once a year, took car in two get safety and it past have put at least 3 tanks of fuel thru it and used sea foam in the gas and thru the carb, the car was running great no more missing, but now I am getting a hesation when leaveing the lights or from a start have to ease up on the throttle or feather it I did change the fuel filter and it was bad and sucked in as if starveing for fuel, dealer said it may be the throttle pump to much fuel, I didn;t change the cap or anything else would someone have any ideas on the problem I hate to get a new rebuilt carb $$$$ any help would be greatful. PS I live in Guelph Ont. Canada near Toronto.

thankyou Ken

Sounds like the accelerator pump in the carburetor has gone bad. Not surprising since it was sitting that many years. Buy this book and a rebuild kit from Cliff Ruggles and do it yourself.
