I have been trying to chase down a hesitation at about 3000-3200 only when cruising. It accelerates smoothly and runs strong. I have one of Dave's new TPS boards but have not yet put it in. The hesitation is there if the TPS is plugged in or unplugged.
I have noticed the dwell changes and I wonder if I have a bad distributor. When I wiggle the distributor shaft, there is some slop. How much is too much? Should the distributor shaft wiggle at all? |

The shaft should spin freely and NOT wobble. Wobble is bad. If the dwell is dancing around, no good.
Sounds like you need a new/good one. "914itis" on this board has one available. P.M. him about it. I have a similar hesitation but at lower RPM's and coming off idle. Let us know if/how you get it fixed. Good luck, Bob |
