I recently finished restoring my stock D-jet EFI. The car mostly drives fine (once its warmed up - I have issues with the AAR. However from time to time the car bucks - losing power for a quarter second or so - and then continues normally. So far this never happens at WOT - only at part throttle. It happens at relatively low RPM - from about 2,400 to 3,500. I haven't experienced it above 3,500 RPM. Any ideas on what it could be?

Every couple of years I have to open the throttle position switch and clean it out well with spray electrical cleaner and the contact areas with an eraser and then throttle response smooths out.

That would be the first place I looked. BTW, if the cleaning doesn't work (and BE VERY CAREFUL), new ones are available and they're not that expensive. The Cap'n
