being very low on gas will allow the inlet to the fuel pump come out of the gas when going uphill. just add more gas and try to start it for a bit to get the gas going again
When you require full power from your engine, weak spots will show themselves. Ignition must perform at maximum voltage, any carbon build up in the dist cap or rotor, Age cracked plug wires or old spark plugs and the ignition system cannot answer the call. Any of these type of issues feels like something is turning off and on very quickly not allowing the engine to increase in RPM.
Same holds true for fuel delivery. Being low on fuel just means your low on fuel. The pickup tube or what ever vehicle specific application is used is always mounted or access's the lowest point of the fuel tank. Some have filters built in to the pump and some use in-line filters. You usually are unaware of a fuel filter starting to plug up with dirt during normal driving. You might notice it on the highway if your trying to pass a slower car and yours does not have its normal punch. When pulling hills your asking for 100% performance from your fuel system and a partially plugged fuel filter cannot deliver 100%. Depending on how plugged up it is will determine the % of fuel delivered to the motor. This issue is smooth operating of the engine, no jerking or stumbling, just flat out does not make any power.
If your a sane driver, neither of these issues will affect you except when going up hills. If your an insane driver, you noticed these issues a long time before you started climbing hills.
What else can I help you with?
What causes engine to lose power going uphill?
Gravity.
How do you get more power going uphill?
downshift
What can cause engine loss of power going uphill?
the tilting of the bike causes the floats in the carburator to rise wich cuts off the fuel intake
Why the speed of bike decrease on upper gear when bike going on slope?
Going uphill takes more power than going on the flat, so unless you can add more power, you have to trade some speed for power to be able to go uphill.
Going uphill car hesitates or no power?
check the air intake
What causes 1992 gmc safari van to run bad and lose power going uphill?
Is the vehicles transmission downshifting to a lower gear as you go uphill? If not, that would be your first place to look. After that I would suspect that your engine timing is not autmatically advancing as it should be.
Why does a bus going uphill travel more-slowly than going?
A bus going uphill must overcome the force of gravity pulling it back down, which requires more energy and makes it move more slowly. Going downhill, the bus benefits from gravity assisting its motion, allowing it to travel faster.
Why does your 98 ford contour slow down when going uphill?
Because it doesn't have enough power to pull itself. All vehicles slow down uphill if you don't feed them more fuel.
Why does your transit lose power going up hills?
Generally when we are going up hill because of the gravity pull, more power is needed. So when traveling uphill more power is needed than downhill.
Why when your car goes up a hill it loses power?
It loses power because going uphill is harder then going downhill therefore causing it to use more gas and then making it lose power bit by bit.
When riding a segway does it have the same power for someone who is heavy and does a heavy person go as fast as others when going uphill?
cool
Your1995 Villager van is losing power and then regaining it when going up hills sort of surging what is this?
If it is an automatic transmission going uphill it will downshift to a lower gear for more torque.
