This is from a while back but thought I'd update everyone. I had replaced the fuel filter, cap and rotor, this did not improve the situation at all. So because I am not confident in my mechanical ability, I took it to the shop. After testing the ignition system, generator/VR, injector pulse width they finally found that Injector #3 was not working. They replaced the (new)Injector and (used)Vacuum advance, which seems to have fixed the problem, no more hesitation or powerloss. Anyone know what that would normally cost, cause it was quite expensive ($350). I have been going to these guys (MotorKars in Columbus) for about 8 years now, but I might need to look elsewhere. And this is sorta insignificant but now my interior light does not come on when I open the door, I can fix that, but you expect it to come back with only the problem fixed and not additional problems. Sorry just venting. Any thoughts? On 24 Aug 2001, at 8:11, JSmith3@SARCOM.COM wrote: > I seem to be having a problem with power loss on my 72 fastback, > but the problem is intermitten.
