My 1987 eta is doing something that I'm not quite sure how to explain, so bear with me.
It feels like a turbo lag would except it happens over and over during acceleration. Like mini power boosts 4-5 times to redline. Like maybe all the injectors were clogged and then suddenly they're not. I hope that makes some kind of sense.
When this has been a problem before it would go away after the initial "lag" during acceleration. But now it's over and over throughout.
I have the Miller chip installed but it did it as well with the OEM chip so I'm ruling that as non-suspect.
My thoughts are maybe bad o2, fuel pressure regulator, vac leak somewhere on the intake, or perhaps a rusty barn door on my AFM.
I'm going to send my AFM to Bav Rest here soon, but before I do that and spend a lot of money narrowing it down I thought maybe someone knew right off the bat that could save me the time and money.
It's worth noting that this is my first post because when ever I have a problem it's already been answered on here 10x over. There is such a wealth of knowledge here and this is the first time search has let me down.
THANKS in advance!
