Accelerate hard in, for example, third gear. Goes good all the way, cut the throttle, wait a second, get back on the gas and nothing happens for a while... then the power comes back on like it was cushioned by rubber.
Don't ask me what I'm running, 'cos no one else has gone there.
Cheers all,
John

Spook - take a trip to Jaycar and build one on the cheap:
EGO (Exhaust Gas Oxygen) Tester
Refer: Electronics Australia February 1994 An EGO sensor monitors your engines exhaust and tells the EFI computer if your engine is running lean, balanced or rich - basically telling the computer if your engine is running in tune. This simple circuit is connected to the EGO sensor, engine block and battery positive and will save you $$$ on tuning by indicating the air/fuel mixture. You can then adjust the EFI computer or tune your carburettor (an EGO can be adapted to carb engines). * Sensor required - available from most automotive stores. * PCB, case, clips and components supplied.
$19.95

They have digital display numeric readout ones too, for a little more

Cheers Guys,
When I get a weekend free I'll have a look. I was running 150s and it was lean. Went to 160s and now, apparently it's rich..... I could go up a notch on the needle.... but the mid-range is spot on as is and I don't want to bugger it!
