Could be a miss-adjusted or defective throttle switch. If the switch is closed with the throttle open, you are going into fuel cut0offabove 1600 RPM. Dennis

When accelerating it runs smooth. When deccelerating (in gear) - foot completely off the gas pedal - it runs smooth. But with light foot pressure, as in going down a slight grade or cruising level ground, it has a bit of roughness or "skipping - missing". Anyone have any ideas? John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
