[AMC-List] 401 Surge Applies to an engine



I would start with fuel/delivery.  Check your lines
and make sure they are far enough away from heat
sources (exh.) and make sure they are not pinched
anywhere.  WHat kind of pump are you running?  Where
are your filters and what kind are they?  Is your tank
sock healthy?  Is your EVAP/return system intact? 
Have you tweaked the Carb settings any?  

Many times a high volume pump can suck the tank up to
the point where it restricts fuel intake.  ALso,
sometimes it can collapse fuel lines, which has the
same effect.  

As usual, fire comes next, but this feels like fuel. 
Don't put a lot of miles on this until you fig out the
problem, especially if it is a fresh rebuild.  Lack of
fuel can cause extemem lean conditions for short
pulses that can cause you problems in the future.  

Good luck!

Jesse
