Subject:      Fixed hesitation problem (ECU)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


After the engine warmed up, my '84 automatic wasserboxer had a really bad "Hesitation" problem when trying to accelerate from a
stop.  Sometimes I wasn't too sure I would clear the intersection before an approaching vehicle (5 blocks away) would become a
problem.  Once it "Caught", though, it seemed to work fairly well at speed.  It was just those minor depressions of the accelerator
that were a problem.


I replaced the ECU using another vintage '84 unit (obviously a better one, though) and the problem is GONE.  Very responsive now.


How 'bout that.
