* Fuel filter clogged: A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing the engine to stall when accelerating.
* Fuel pump worn out: A worn out fuel pump may not be able to deliver enough fuel to the engine, causing the engine to stall when accelerating.
* Carburetor needs adjustment: The carburetor may need to be adjusted to provide the correct air/fuel mixture to the engine. A lean air/fuel mixture can cause the engine to stall when accelerating.
* Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean and stall when accelerating.
* Ignition timing off: Incorrect ignition timing can also cause the engine to stall when accelerating.
* Faulty spark plugs or wires: Faulty spark plugs or wires can also cause the engine to stall when accelerating.
* Bad distributor cap and/or rotor can cause the engine to run poorly and stumble or stall when accelerating.
Troubleshooting steps:
1. Check the fuel filter and replace if necessary.
2. Check the fuel pump and replace if necessary.
3. Check the carburetor and adjust if necessary.
4. Check for a vacuum leak and fix if necessary.
5. Check the ignition timing and adjust if necessary.
6. Check the spark plugs and wires and replace if necessary.
7. Check the distributor cap and rotor and replace if necessary.
