Hi all,
My '91 tintop syncro has developed a stumble on initial acceleration. It
hiccups a bit in first gear and then briefly hiccups more violently after
shifting to 2nd and accelerating. It stops this stumble after gaining speed
and shifting to 3rd. Also, if I decelerate or coast a bit and resume
acceleration the stumble seems to happen just a little bit but goes away
after further acceleration. There are no stumbles or misses during cruising
speeds only at low speed shifting speeds. No idling issues or hard starting
but it seems to have gotten worse lately, it was very rare up until this
week.
Any theories.
Thanks
Rick
