I have an 86 Chevy Celebrity, it seems to run fine but when you take off from a stop it acts like it is going to stall, unless you put your foot to the floor. I have replaced the fuel pump, cap and rotor, checked the filter(could only find one) and fixed a couple broken vacuum lines. Could my problem be in the carb?
