hesitation after startup, slight missing
My '87 5kcstq w/146k mi is has the hiccups!
After starting cold in the morning (about 55 deg.)is fires up great, but
will hiccup if I try to drive away--I need to let it run a couple minutes,
then it's fine.
Then, when I start it cold after work to go home, it fires up great, then
stutters and sometimes dies!! If I blip the throttle for a minute, it'll
idle ok. It's like clockwork--idle w/slight hesitation in morning;
cough-cough-choke at 5:30pm. WEE-RRd!
Last, full throttle is a wee flaky--sometimes I'll feel a slight hesitation
when turbo hits 1.1, like a soft governor or something, then it may/may not
go up to 1.2/3 after a certain rpm (around 4000). At least w/my '66 Caddy, I
can chalk it up to a carb adjustment.
I put the "rant" in ignorant, so here's my quetions: can I replace the WOT &
temperature sensors? i.e. are they separate parts? How much do they cost?
What's the best way to adjust the mixture?
t.i.a.
