hi all
i've discovered a weird ignition/fuel system quirk in my '75 2.0, which has probably been going on since i've owned it (3 months) -- just haven't noticed it. the engine has a flatspot at ~4600rpm -- it feels like the fuel cuts in and out to keep the engine below this speed. now, i can 'break through' it in 1st --> 3rd gear, it just pauses and stumbles a bit at 4600, then moves merrily along toward redline. but in 4th (and 5th, i presume), it feels like i don't have enough power/momentum to 'break through it'. 2 months ago, car had a full tune up, valves adjusted, etc. airpump removed, air injector jets plugged. aside from this quirk, it runs smoothly and strong. does anyone have suggestions for things to check?

Nathan,
I had a problem recently where I had a stumble during acceleration. It turned out to be my TPS. I got a new one from European Automotive Specialists www.europeanautomotive.com for $85. Cured the stumble. For testing, I've heard you can disconnect the TPS and see if that cures your problem. |
