Drove the new baby to work today - first time in some traffic - and noticed some lurching in 2nd & 3rd gear at around 2500-3000 rpm. ie: trying maintain a steady speed in slow traffic would result in a surging or lurching motion. Accelerate to a little over 3000 & it would mostly go away. It seems to be related to part throttle power delivery - ie: 3/4 or more accel to 4000 in each gear is smooth, but a "lazy" foot with 1/2 throttle or so causes a similar lurching during accel. I have a new cap & rotor which I have not tried yet, and plugs are new, but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this - it doesn't seem like an ignition thing to me, more like timing advance or fuel delivery. Any ideas? Note: This is not the mystery power loss at speed problem (I don't think anyway) and the van has had the harness put on by a dealer a while back to fix that. Shawn.
