as it says shes goin bad
what my problem is it keeps stalling, it stalls when i rev it hard aka going up hills, when it stalls it chugs first and jolts then dies, when its stalled it dosnt want to just start up again it takes a couple somtimes many tries, recently i posted here because it had oil in the airfilter thinking and by manys advice it was my rings i later discoverd it wasnt coming from the rocker up through the head but from the sumps oil breather. i recently took that off and blocked the hose, does anyone know or have any idea or sujestions to what it could be.
pleasseeeeeeeeeeee.

You shouldn't block that off, get a small breather filter from a performance shop, i just got one, $17, i've seen em for $15, i think that may cause some of your probs, it wouldn't be there if the engine didn't need to breathe.

geminis are heavy breathers so u dont want to block that up mate, run a hose down the back of the block pointing it to the ground, it will drip oil but its better than spraying your engine bay with oil...

As for your stalling problem have you checked the usual stuff, fuel filter etc. etc.
clogged fuel filters are one of the main culprits of stalling the engine when you're into it a bit.
I'll third what the other said, you need that breather. They don't put pipes on your engine just for fun so it is unwise to just block one off because you don't like it! Smile
A bit of blow by in your air filter is no majoy concern anyway, as your engine starts to wear out you will get increasing amount of it

and when ur rings are totally fucked or the bores have warped u will get blue smoke comming from there...

i had the hose pointing to the ground and when i was stopped at lights i had smoke pouring out from the side of the car... really turned heads!!

i think a good idea would be to run the pipe to an oil catch can and just empty the can it you have the pipe pointed at the ground they will defect you for it
i run my breather to my carbie get a bit of oil in the filter but hey i just clean it
