Hi all
Let me first say how much fun I had at the WCC autocross. I had no idea my car could corner like that. Thanks also to Howard Yao for showing me how it should be done. My question is about some bad stumbling and loss of power that my stock 74 2.0 had. It seemed to be bought on by the really sharp corners. Particularly the 270ยบ loop arround. I would put my foot down comming out the turn and the car would be all jerky. It felt alot like the problem that I have had before with the TPS at highway speeds. But that was cleaned recently. Has anyone had this problem before? I had a 3/4 full tank of gass. I would like to get it fixed as I intend to go auto cross agian now. |

About half a quart over full should not hurt anything, and is in fact recommended for autoX. It helps keep the oil pickup submerged just a little bit longer in the longer sweeping turns.
