1986 Chevy Celebrity mileage: 46,000. Engine starts but tends to die or stall out when trying to accelerate. I have changed the fuel filter, but it didn't help. A local mechanic here in Sitka, AK told me it probably needs a new carburetor - apparently, there's some kind of electronic devices in the carburetor that cannot be fixed here. He wants to charge me $500 for a new carburetor--Is it possible to get a rebuilt one somewhere for less than that? Thank you for your help-Eric

Have your mechanic check for the availability of a rebuilt carburetor. Also, your local Chevrolet dealer should have the individual parts that go in the carburetor.

Sounds like an Idle Air Control Cylinoid problem.
OR a fuel pump. Both can be checked for proper operation by a good mechanic.
