I'm with Louis-Alain, I think the coil is the next place to look.
Think of it this way - if the flywheel was damaged it's not like the
damage would dissapear at low RPM so why would it run correctly then?
If the pin was off the timing would NEVER be right, unless the pin is
switching it's position in the flywheel in real time ;-).
Here's another data point - the tach is run off the ECU. If there is a
problem in the ignition related inputs (flywheel sensors) the tach
would go haywire or stop working all together. If the tach seems like
it's indicating correctly then the issue is an output problem, not an
input problem. It's entirely possible that the igition coil is failing
and just can't produce a big enough bang when the frequency demand
increases. Rick, whats the chances of you (or a buddy) having an
occiloscope?
Oh and I like this "... gotta love the supportive way folks operate on
the "quattro list" these
days ... " by Steve B. Not only does he write that about Huw's post,
but he completely neglected to read Ricks post and asked Rick to test
exactly what he spent time detailing out about what he did last night.
Good stuff.
