Ok, heres the deal:
Car starts and idles fine, pulls all the way to redline fine when not fully warmed up. Once it gets hot, sometimes it feels like it is not firing on all cylinders. This only happens from idle to like 2500 rpm, and then again from 5000 to redline. Between those two figures it "catches" and fires on all before feeling like it looses cylinders. Any idea's? Only thing I can think of is that I ran low on gas and there is crap in the fuel filter, but if this was the case wouldn't it cause erratic running throughout the entire rpm range? Lately this car has been giving me nothing but trouble, so help me figgure this out before I burn it to the ground (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Dwell will cause those symtoms, but should be the same at all temps. Same with clogged fuel lines. Check ALL the vacuum lines and grounds. CHT is temp related but rmp shouldn't have an effect. Check the connection at ts1(intake air temp sensor) and the thermo tine switch. These are things I check first. How are your vacuum lines? Fuel pressure?

Just trying to touch on something you may not have thought of.

Good luck, you'll figure it out.

Oh yeah, burn your car to the ground and you'll be eternally haunted by the 914 fire ghost!!!!!!!n His name starts with M (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
