Scoobywagon Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 OK..working on the 83. 268 kilomiles. I recently had to replace both fuel filters, the fuel pump, most of the rubber fuel lines, coil, cap, rotor and wires. Now I've got something odd happening. It only occurs under a fairly specific set of circumstances. I have to have been driving steady at about 3000rpm. Speed doesnt matter, apparently. Anyway, run the engine at 3000rpm for a while, then load it up without giving it more gas. It will pick up an occasional miss that will get worse if you don't do something. If you floor it, the car will cough onvce more, then the problem goes away. The other solution is to simply disengage the clutch, let it drop back to idle momentarily, then back off the clutch and you're off again. The plugs are a mis-matched set (1 champion, 2 delcos and an autolite. not my doing, but there it is) with some wear on them, but they didn't look bad when last I had them out. I'll probably change them as I should have when I did all that other stuff. Does anyone else have any ideas about other things I should chase down?
