Hello, So, I think I have two distinct problems and each has some bucking symptoms. 1) When the rig is cold and wet, like there's been some rain or the air is very humid, the engine runs but power is *very* on again-off again for about two or three minutes then the problem goes away. 2) At tach ranges below around 3600, both my wife and I can feel a very slight shudder, or hesitation, pretty constantly. This doesn't change, as far as we can tell, with weather or engine temp, etc. Hiway speeds with tach above 3800 are a smooth as glass and the engine has very good power. Things I've done recently: - all standard tune-up things replaced except the oxygen sensor - all grounds replaced, ground points cleaned - new ECU - new wiring harness - 22 microfarad thingy in the AFM - new idle stabilizer control unit (I had really bad idle) Any idea's would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!! Helga '87 Westy |
