What carburetor and ignition do you have?
You need to give more information. Does black smoke come out of the tailpipe?
Try holding the choke open and see if the engine runs better.

You have some preliminary good advice here, the fuel line or carb could be boiling away fuel.

But, this could be a coil as well, especially if it is on top of intake. This is a typical symptom for a coil failure of his nature.

Hope this helps..

Amir, did this just suddenly start happening or has it been developing over time? How long have you had the car? It would help us diagnose if we better understood the timeline for the condition that you are decsribing.

I had this problem with a 67 GTO...It was the rubber fuel line near the gas tank was cracked..

I should have thought of this before, it's real easy to determine if this is a fuel issue or an ignition issue.

Drive it until it stops, then take starting fluid and squirt and restart. If it will restart then it's a fuel issue. IF it won't start with starting fluid then it's ignition related.

Sounds like a choke problem to me. Do you have the choke installed and connected? I would "hang" it open and see if the problem goes away. If it goes away then you need to figure out why it isn't opening when it should (that's the easy part). Make sure your air cleaner is not causing your choke to stick shut.

I took out the tank and drained the gas and I found 2 big pieces which use to be the screen in the tank I pulled those out and blew air from the fuel line from the engine back with the tank off to see if the fuel line was clear and it was but I guess that solved the problem when I took the screen out. I have another question I have a solid setup how loud are they supposed to be and how do u adjust them?
