Just had the Fuel Pump and Carb replaced on this 1986 Minnie-Winnie Ford E350-460ci, Everything seemed to be running fine until I headed up the pass. As soon as I hit the grade doing about 60, started to backfire & lose power. If I floored it, it would downshift, and
try to regain speed, but, the backfiring comes back. Got off the freeway, headed back down the mountain,
and, it runs perfect otherwise. I was able to repeat this at the very same location on I90.
Taking it back to mechanic, but, he is not sure what would cause this. I did notice that the gas tank is leaking, so, he must have left
something loose when he replaced the fuel pump. Not sure if that could be related?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
