Hi listfolks! I need some advice relating to problem I'm recently encountering on my 89 Westy. Just last week, as I rolled up to 90,000 miles it started occuring. After a normal start-up, and idle, the engine would stumble, and hesitate as I applied the gas, or turned on the A/C. It appears that any type of load causes this hesitation... until I reach 3000 rpm, and then it seems to accelerate normally. From a dead stop, I have to feather the gas pedal, or the engine acts like I'm flooding it.. when this happens, I let off the gas a little , until it seems "to catch" and then I can generally accelerate on up, as long as I don't press too hard on the gas. For starters, I've replaced the O2 sensor, checked the voltage to the idle stabilizer valve and made sure it was humming, reset the throttle valve switch, replaced plugs, rotor, dist. cap. I have a new fuel filter, but I did the fuel pump regulator check per Bentley to see fuel quantity cfs from return line of pressure regulator. Just last year I changed ignition coil to new green label Bosch, and when she went dead on a trip last year, it also required a new ECU. I also replaced temperature sensor last October.... but I'm wondering if this might still be my culprit, since the problem seems to get worse as I warm up the engine. It never does stall though at idle, unless I've got A/C on..... by the way,,, I've run techron through a couple of times, and gone through several tanks of fuel ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED....
