About Jim Holsbeck Expertise I can answer most questions on Chevrolet vehicles up to 1996, or before the ODBII.
Experience I have been working on cars since I was eight, when I started handing my dad wrenches. I did my first complete rebuild at 14, and my first restoration at 16. When it comes to Chevy, if I don't know the answer off the top of my head, I can find it out fairly quickly. (My entire family is a bunch of gear heads.)

Question I have a 1991 Chevy Beretta GT with only 105,000 miles. I am having a problem with it stalling out. If I press down on the gas a little too hard from the start it dies, or if I slowly baby it up to about 30-40 mph it dies. I do have a minor radiator leak if that is relavent. I tried pulling codes and nothing came up. Thank you for your help.
Answer Greg,
Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. I would start by changing the fuel filter and see if you net any result. Generally when this type of problem occurs it is because of too little fuel getting to the motor. If there is no gain from the filter change, I would look at the throttle poition sensor as the next culprit. There are a few things you can check - like fuel psi at inlet, depending on how technical you want to, or are able to, get. I would check the filter first, and if you don't see an improvement, let me know and we'll dig into it a little deeper. Good Luck!
