I have a 1986 gt and when I accelerate it putts. When I drive it makes my whole car jerk. does anyone know what this might be? It is a stock 302 I think it's my fuel pump but not sure.

Did this just start?
If so... sounds like bad gas.

have you changed your fuel filter? done a tune up? could be any number of things.

if it was sitting and you are using the same gas, that could be it too. drain or use up that gas, change your filter tune up the car with new plugs, cap, rotor and wires, and then see what youve got
