Hi friends,
I am looking for some answers to bring to my mechanic. When I am driving my
1984 1.9L, and after it warms up (8 minutes) the Van kicks back when
cruising, or when trying to pass another vehicle. It feels like I lose
power and then it comes back real quick, causing the van to jolt. My
mechanic has checked my plugs and all other basic tune-up areas. He says it
could be electric. Anyone else ever have this problem and what was needing
some care?
My Van is like so close to being a real nice driver. I have spent 700 plus
on it in the past 6 months in hopes of getting a reliable vehicle. I can
feel the satisfaction, my car hasn't felt better, but it just needs this
thing fixed!! Thanks for any help!

Dan
