Alright,
I have L-Jetronic FI and the motor starts and idles. When I hit the gas, it dies at a certain RPM. I'm no stranger to the FI in my car and I have diagnosed many problems, but this one is killing me. The mystery is.... Sometimes it runs like a top, other times it dies. About a month ago, it died at the curb in front of my house. Today, I took it for a ride and it died at the curb again. I took apart the throttle body and checked the Throttle Switch.... it's good. I checked all the other components... All good! I fired it up.... Damn thing ran like a top all over town! I didn't do anything different! I'd like to think I fixed it, but I'm not that good! Any ideas on how to find the actual problem and make it reliable? Chris |

Flaky wiring somewhere? An intermittent open circuit can be difficult to track down.
