Hi, I have an Opel Monza, 1.8 GLX 1987 model with carburetor. When accelerating uphill, it drops revs and wants to cut out or just cuts out and I battle to start it. It also jerks a bit when I drive in 5th gear at 80kms and up, on the freeway. This happens mostly when it is very hot. Have had fuel pump pressure checked, all fine. Carburetor has been checked, as per garage. Could it be electric, maybe the distributor or the cap? The spark plugs still look good, were changed about a year and a half ago. Plug leads were changed about 3-4 years ago. Many Thanks!
Hi Yvette! from what you are describingi think thats the fuel pump that is going to die very soon to your hands.i suggest if your mechanic has a spare one to replace it and make some test runs himself,before he delivers it to you!

could be the type of plug you are using.I was told only to use ngk plugs.I recently put bosch plugs in my mazda 3 and the check engine light came on and it started missfiring.

Check the spark plugs, cap and rotor.

well, need to check fuel pressure, spark. Ignition module in distributors go out that is common

Check the 'U' joints in the drive line. Check the engine/transmission mounts for damage or looseness. The real enigma is trying to determine if this is an engine or a chassis problem. If the check engine light is on, doing a scan of the computer should show engine problems. If no light, concentrate on anything in the chassis for periodic binding. Good luck!

Remove transmission and check the clutch slave cylinder for leakage. Check fluid level and bleed if necessary. Remove clutch, pocket bearing, throwout bearing and pressure plate. Check for leakage from rear engine seal and front transmission seal. Remove and replace seal(s) if traces of oil are present. Check clutch for oil film and excessive wear, damaged or worn pressure plate (if close to tollerence, replace for convenience). Replace clutch components as necessary and reassemble using your manual for guidance. This should take care of the problem. I see you have changed your fuel filter and given a basic tune up so you should be good to go at that point (check compression and distributor timing) If timing belt has not been replaced around 60,000 then replace or you may end up on the side of the road. if any further questions let me know.
