Pat,

On my '86 there were numbeorus rusty electrical connections, one of which was to the fuel injectors.

I cleaned up what I could with sandpaper, and changed the rest.

Stalling/hesitation problems have now been resolved in my case.

Have you checked the electical connectors in the engine bay?

Regards,
Shawn.

Starts perfect, idles fine but when it is accelerating it feels sorta flat.  Seems to be in any gear.  All tune-up related parts had been changed right before I bought it.(i have receipts)  I changed the fuel filter Tuesday to no avail.  I have also changed the blue temp sensor & ICU since I have had it.  I was going to check the basics first, compression, fuel pressure & spark but since it starts & idles so well I am not sure.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
