Hi group:
I have an 88 conv. that is suddenly running strange, starts
right up and runs at about 900rpm for about 2 secs. then
dies. It will do this a couple of times, then it will start and
run at around 6 to 900 rpm (hunts) with a problem taking
any throttle until about 1/3 throttle, then will take off.
as it warms up the problem seems to get a little better but
it is never right, with a flat spot at small throttle openings.
No light or codes associated with this, thinking maybe
coil (there are occasional backfires when trying to give it
more throttle).
Any thoughts on diagnosis or similar problems greatly
appreciated!
TIA Dave G.

Just a thought...it may also be your throttle postion switch.

I tried to find a vacuum leak with propane but no success,
no audible hiss either, would the throttle pos. throw an alarm?
I checked the plugs and they look ok, at night I can see no
arcs in the ignition. don`t know how to test the coil in the cap
except to replace. Normally I would suspect a #32 egr problem
as this has some of the earmarks but again no code or svc eng
light. Well maybe try to put a cap and coil on tomorrow. any other ideas
appreciated!
TIA Dave G.
