Subject:More intermittent hesitation probs
From:Chad
Date:Sun, 11 Feb 2001 11:27:10 -0400

thanks to everyone for all the help so far. I still have a problem with a
stumbling idle and engine hesitation and complete lack of power during
acceleration. It does run ok when up to speed (ie. RPM's >3000).  I've
checked for vacuum leaks at the inlet manifold. I repaired the air intake
boot making sure there wasn't any air being sucked in. I tore apart the
distributor/plugs/wires making sure there wasn't moisture in them. I cleaned
out the AFM and replaced the airfilter. I guess my next step would be to
replace the temp 2 sensor. Am I correct in thinking (with some advice from
other) that this could be the culprit???? Also, where is it located ('85
1.9l) and is it a difficult task??
thanks,
Chad
