    Post vl V8 running problem

    Ive done a search but not very successfull.
    Anywho my problem is with my vl v8 wagon
    when im cruising at low speeds and then put my foot down my car shudders and acts like its not getting fuel but it gets a real bad smell of unburnt fuel. If i slowly put my foot down and increase it with the revs its fine. Is it cause im flooding it? and why does it only do it with my vl v8 and not my mates?
    Wrecking VL factory V8 only a few bits left still have full dash/crash pad
    and have a vk 202 motor and 5 speed Make an offer want it gone

    i second that try leaning your mixes out on the jets slightly.. or put it in for a professional tune...

    hows ya air filter is is blocked this will make her run rich as its not getting the required air to lean her out when u give it a boot full
