I took the tank out once for cleaning etc...Put it back and the car would start, run and operate but would buck and stall...
When I put the tank back, I got the fuel lines underneath, kinked and strangling the motor of fuel... Un-Kinked and everything worked fine from then on... 2-OH! |

Mine likes to do the bronco dance as well. I just replaced the fuel pump becuase it failed, and while it's drivable again (mostly at high rpms) it still bucks at lower (3200 and below) rpms when stepping on the gas, not upon decelleration
. It just came back from the shop where they checked the distibuter and the points, timing and dwell, so I'd like to think they knew what they were doing. The car seems to run better when I first start it up. Tonight I'm going to unplug the TPS so see if that makes a difference, but have a feeling it's something else. Bad injectors maybe? I've already replaced 1 injector that had a cracked head hoping that would improve things. I haven't tested the others....those things are expensive. |

Yes Kelly...could be coil too, but this is rather rare. Didn't you say you replaced the TPS? If so, did you re-adjust it properly? If your problem is just at light throttle opening, this could be the cause. Here's a link to a great FI troubleshooting site:Anders' Site

So before I head home from work I give all of the ingnition particulars a look.
Turns out the number 4 wire at the dizzy end was partially loose. sungged it up and that cured it. This same wire had a problem before I test swapped my dizzzy for a know good one I really dont think this was my initial problem because I felt a big difference after I changed the IAT. but who knows? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Thanks for the tip Randy it sure made my trip home enjoyable. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) When I test swapped my TPS I calibrated and cleaned the one that was on there and then put it back on after I ruled the TPS out. Anders' site is great for D-jet knowledge thats for sure |
