I'm back. I posted a week or so ago and on lister responded with the suggestion that it might be the fuel pump. It's evidently not. The car is an '84 5KS, and it runs just beautiful until you put a load on the engine. In first gear, while going up a steep incline or just letting the clutch out fast and accelerating, the car jumps and bucks, seems to be catching and dying very quickly. Push in the clutch, idles smooth as butter. So far I've changed the following (thanks to parts car that was running great until it's former owner drove 50+ miles with a 2inch hole in the oil pan): Fuel pump complete with sender, distributor, coil, checked all (I mean ALL) vacuum lines, cleaned and replaced almost all connectors in the ignition system, checked pressure gradient sensor, temp sensors, etc. WHAT am I missing here? Something has to be shutting down either Spark or Fuel, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. That Northstar transplant starts looking better and better. ;) BCNU, ... Even a philosopher gets upset with a toothache. ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30
