AAR is out Bruce.

Found a couple things.

Battery ground strap, nut hanging on last 2 threads. Grounds were cleaned everywhere else a while back, still good. When I was messing with the TPS earlier (in the dark) I knocked the tach wire off the coil.

This leads me to where I think the problem was..

There are several wires that connect at the coil, all of them were shakey, re-crimped new connectors.

Found (what I think) is the connector to the CHT (hey! I am new) lil phenolic block? Discoed. reconnected, and taped it up.

Seems to be a runner.

Also notice since I adjusted the TPS, that the 2700rpm boop is now a 2900rpm boop..

ALL YOUR TPS ARE BELONG TO US!

This kind of crap always happens to me on the weekend before a long trip..

Damn Miles! I better look for something a little harder to detect next time I decide to F with your car while you're sleeping!

You know Bruce... I cleared it up... but it still has that specific throttle-offish condition... the TPS sucks for sure.

New Thread!
