'94 945T
I've been chasing this gremlin for over a year. When I think I have found it, it always reappears within a few days. Here is the symptom. It is most prominent after a deceleration but not always. Upon acceleration there will be a slight to very pronounced stumble. The tach drops and there is an associated loss of voltage at the coil. I am convinced it is electrical (there was a bad FPRly causing the in-tank pump not to operate but that has since been replaced with no change in the stumble). It seems to be more apparent in high ambient heat & when the engine is warm, on a cold morning it rarely acts up (but sometimes it will). It manifests with medium to heavy acceleration, a light foot usually has no stumble. At speed there is no stumble but, on occasion, hard acceleration when moving can result in a stumble.
I have cleaned all the electrical connectors (both cable connectors & component connectors) in the engine compartment with deoxidizer spray and have replaced the FPRly, RadioSuprRly, power stage, IACV, throttle switch, MAF & CPS. I've cleaned all the grounds I can find (engine & body/fender) About all I haven't poked around is the main computer.
Any ideas?
