1989 Questions for all other cars V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 36,000 miles
1989 motorhome,dolphin,chevy 458,automatic transmission--i have an intermittant problem.Usually when the engine is warm.usually when I press the gas pedal to the floor for passing gear..sometimes it feels like gas flow has stopped.the engine feels as though it is going to die..it will surge a little,then no response from the gas pedal.I have changed:fuel filter,carb filter,new fuel pump,new spark plugs and wires,new distributer,new air filter.It did pass smog test today.just feels like an on/off switch to the fuel delivery system..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi dunespit,
You mentioned carb so the problem could be due to a bad carb accelerating pump or power jet.
Have you tried servicing the carb ?
