I did replace the TFI..with a new one, still have the same problem. No I do not have a smog pump, or cats.
There was a lot of like black dust or film in the bowl of the distrubitor I did try cleaning it out but nothing. Still have the same issue.
Re: the spout connector- I pulled it out and checked the time when I put the spout connector back in the timing changed, as it's suppose to do I guess?
I do not see any shorts in that spout wire but even if there was, it only pulls timing out, right? Is there away to test this?
I was thinking and so where other people that the PIP in the distrubitor was going out, because of the severe bucking/surging issue. The bucking/surging also happens while the car is at idle. But this problem normally happens once the car gets a little warm, say after anywhere of 5-20 min's of the car running.
Then the problem just keeps happening, and gets to the point to where you can barely drive it.
Any ideas? Above in one of my posts is the things i have replaced, etc. I have thrown a lot of money at this and this is my everyday car.
Has anyone had this same problem?
Does the Spout connector ever go bad? Would it cause the problems I'm having? Counld i just splice the wires going to the spout connector together? to check to see if the spout is bad? what is the spouts job?
Should I have found black dust inside the bowl of the distrubitor? It was also on the cap etc.
Just so we are on the same page, say after the car is warm, and say your at 3,000 rpm the car on the facotory tach drops anywhere from 250-to as much as 750rpm( going back in forth- down up down up). This can happen with the clutch pressed in or if its in gear. This also seams to happen while the car is at idle. So if the car is at idle at say 900 to 1000 rpm at idle all acc. off. the idle will drop say 250rpm and keeps going back and worth, dropping then coming back etc. and this seams to happen very quickly thus the surging and if driving while this happens the BUCKING.
When the car realy starts to act up, if you give tha car full throttle, the car will not really move out of its own way. The car sounds like its almost pinging or like the car is not getting spark, its like a realy bad coughing.
The car has just slowly started doing this, and now has gotten to the point to where it realy cann't be driven, because you cann't get out of your own way now.
Thanks to all again, awatting your and anyone elses thoughts.
