The following reason makes absolutely no sense at all, but all I know is that for some inexplicable reason it worked on my B30E after years of enduring the dreaded acceleration staggers. Bore a hole through the end of the aluminium plug which you removed from the map sensor just big enough to get a screwdriver through it to turn the mixture screw when the plug is screwed back into the sensor. Screw the plug back into the sensor until its inner lip just contacts the diaphragm. Screw it in about an eighth of a turn further. See if that helps. You will have to experiment with the position, in or out. If it helps, once you've found the optimum position seal the plug with a dab of silcone or Locktite. Haven't a clue why it worked and there's no reasonable explanantion to why that I can think of, but it did the trick on our 164. Unless it was just coincidence, karma, kismet, or some other supernatural force at work.
