Re: [T3] 68 Fastback FI (?) Issues - Diagnostic Help Requested


Hi Jim -

Well - took the fastback on a cruise - about 70 miles round-trip - almost
all highway.

Throughout the trip - no evidence of the "bucking" or "bogging down"
reported on my previous trips from work to home.

It may, or may not, be related, but I did note that I could not keep the car
at constant highway speed (65-70 mph) at (near as I could tell) constant
pedal depress.

I'd keep my foot steady against the tunnel once I'd get to about 70 mph, but
then the car would start to slow down - settling down at around 55 mph.

If I kept blipping the gas pedal, the engine would rev and I'd be back up to
65-70 mph.

Would this be indicative of a problem with the throttle sensor?

Thanks for your help and advice on this.

Mike
