Hello again, I just posted yesterday with some questions about installing an ignitor II Electronic ignition. Well today I went to change out the points and apparently the previous owner had installed an ignitor I already. I replaced this anyway and the car still has the same issue so I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the ignition. The car runs perfectly, idles great when warm, and revs with no hesitation while in neutral. While driving though, it accelerates great up until about 3100 RPM when the car seems to hesitate and refuses to rev past when the throttle is pushed. A slight bucking can be felt if you pay attention but VERY slight. If you back it off and apply extremely gentle and steady pressure the car does seem to rev past this point slowly though... Any ideas? Has anyone had a similar problem with their car? Timing is set perfectly at 27 BTDC at 3500 RPM.
Note - Car still had original FI, with original distributor (Apart from electronic ignition) |

Note - Car still had original FI, with original distributor (Apart from electronic ignition) My 1973 2.0L had the same problem. I replaced the TPS and it now works great. The Board had grooves worked into it deep enough to cause the contact arms to contact at incorrect points on the board. Watch the YouTube Video on how to change it. It was easy to replace yourself. Make sure that you have a new throttle body gasket to replace the old one before you take it apart. While you are at it, change the 7 pin plug boot if it needs to be replaced...do all that at once.
