Which spark plug wires did you cross?
Which cylinder is not firing due to a bad wire or the injector is unplugged?

Subject: Volksiebus - 88 Transporter - Rough Running Engine

Rough engine - the latest pita I'm having to deal with on a string of many!!
I'm on a roll!!

Ok - hot or cold - engine starts and idles well.

Conditions - ISV disconnected due to Idle issues
O2 Sensor Disconnected to put ECU in default mode.

Cold engine: starts easily, idles easily, but upon attempted acceleration it
bucks, kicks, snorts, hiccups, coughs - finally smoothing out at speed.

Warm engine: starts easily, idles easily, but upon attempted acceleration it
bucks, kicks, snorts, hiccups, coughs - finally smoothing out at speed.
Only the bucking isn't quite so bad. Occurs mostly on the initial
acceleration after idling successful.

Suspicion: Throttle body switches out of limits and need adjusting.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks,

John
