Subject:Erratic Tachometer and Power Loss
From:Larry H
Date:Wed, 7 May 2003 14:27:37 -0700

Good evening all -

Hoping this rings a bell with someone:

My tach periodically behaves erratically, swinging
between zero to 4000 rpm while at a stop light. It
calms down as the engine speed increases.

BUT, there is a high probablity of a power loss
occurring afterwards.

The power loss is manifest in either of two ways:

1. Running smooth, but down on power....like a
temporary fuel filter plug or a timing retard.

2. A complete shutdown. The wiring harness patch has
moderated this (usually)to a hard stumble, then it
runs Ok.

Thanks,

Larry Hensley
