2.0 D Jet, new engine. it ran fine yesterday. I changed the points with a compufire. the idle smoothed out nicely. I touched something wrong because now it hesitates past 1/2 throttle under load. below 1/2 throttle its nice. on teh fwy its fine

vacuum to the MPC? or perhaps another vacuum leak? MPC adjusts the fuel pulse for load.

BTW that is a beautiful engine.

Don't know about the hesitation problem but where is your alternator cover?

Are your dizzy weights sticking? One drop of 30 wt on the center felt per year is what Haynes says to do...

Re-check the timing, 28-32degrees BTDC @3500rpms

Both advance and retard hoses still on?

It sounds like a leak in the MPS or one of the hoses leading to it.

I would try checking there first. You may have inadvertently bumped a hose loose.

Is it running excessively rich or lean? Or is it just hesitating?

I had one once that wouldn't pull past 3500 RPMs to find that the coil had shot craps.

Good luck.

Hey Sean

Did you re-time after installing the pertronix?

Posted by: sean_v8_914 Dec 5 2005, 04:16 PM

yup, re-timed it. just checked total adv again, 29 deg. Ill go check that MPS hose again.
it does run very rich. I can smell it

You unplugged the CHT and its running way rich...........
