My car has developed an extremely annoying bucking under acceleration. It started about a week ago, and at first it would only happen while accelerating out of a fast turn. But now it does it all the time while accelerating. It's like the car is oscillating between half power and full power, making it lurch-slow-lurch-slow-lurch-slow. It's like you're riding a bucking bronco or something. The only cure seems to be to get off the throttle completely, upshift, then slowly accelerate.
Anyone have any idea where I should start looking first? |

Sorry, a couple more things to note: you probably need to get some distributor grease. That's really the best thing to reapply after you clean out all the existing gunk. Also, make sure to grease up the distributor shaft where the points make contact on the cam. After I cleaned mine I don't think I lubed that sufficiently (or at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ) and I noticed my dwell wouldn't stay in the same place. Cap'n Krusty suggested that the pad on the points was wearing down quickly without the grease, and he's probably right. I think that solved that problem.

I've got elec ignition though, so no points to worry about. Other than that did you just grease between the two advance plates - like a grease sandwich? And then some on the ball bearing? Anywhere else I should hit while I'm in there? |
