We have had an issue with our car since we bought it 7 years ago. We noticed it a few times right after we bought it (actually on the way home from the purchase) and it has progressively gotten worse. We have replaced many things over those years to no avail. The problem would go away for a while and then come back. It was basically a "bucking" or cutout that we would get mostly in left hand turns and more so at high RPMs and when it was hot. Going straight it would fix itself in a while and if you made a right turn it would cure immediately. If you shifted to a higher gear, it would go away more quickly. Bitch of a problem.
We have now cured the problem. Which root cause do you think it was? I'll give the answer after this weekend. Chris 1973 914 2.0L BP |

Well, we thought we had it licked as we removed teh distributor and found all sorts of wobble. This answered the high rpm issue, the trigger points misfiring and the turn sensitivity. Teh guy rebuilt it and said it was way off and it should solve our problems. Well, they are still there....sorry no root cause yet...thanks for playing.
