Driving home from work this afternoon, out of the blue, my engine started cutting out at highway speed only and only under light acceleration. It's an 83.5 H2O-cooled, fairly new, with great compression. I got off the freeway and took a lightly traveled surface road most of the way home. Then got back on the freeway for the last few miles; symptoms didn't recur. Shouldn't be the fuel filter; it's fairly new. Any clues? |
