i checked everything, poped the distributor cap , it's dry. checked the =
control unit ( Jetronic box) for shorts per Bentley, it's OK. then i =
started troubleshooting the Ox sensor. It gets 12V, it gives out =
anywhere between .5-1.3V but when I unplug the green OX sensor wire, the =
engine doesn't sputter. can the Ox sensor be bad? it's still putting out =
voltage, it's heating element is good ( checked with ohmmeter).

my car sputters like that everytime I start it for about 1 min, then =
the idle goes to about 2k, falls down to 4-5 hundred. It repeats that a =
few times then levels out at 950. I haven't been able to figure out =
what the hell is causing it yet. Sometimes if I manage to give it some =
gas and keep the r's up around 1500 for about 40 seconds she will level =
out just fine after that. When I first got the car I had similar =
problems when it rained, I found that the PO had put on the el-cheap-O =
autozone ditributor cap so I replaced it with a Bosh and haven't had =
rain problems since. Let me know what ya find out cause it's pretty =
embarrasing when the car sputters like that when I fire it up while ppl =
are checking it out.

i got caught by heavy rain yesterday.Couple of hrs later i tried to =
start the car, it starts fine, 5-10 seconds later, the engines sputters, =
shakes , tried to give it throtle , nothing, but if i close the fuel =
enrichment switch, it idles OK. When the engine sputters , the DPR =
current goes to 0, the DPR measured 20 Ohms , it should be ok, idle =
stabilizer valve get voltage, hums.Transfer pump buzzes when turning =
key, main pump isn't loud.i pulled two injectors and they don't spray =
when cranking, i thought that was weird. The engine has the same sputter =
as it does when you unplug the jetronic box.It's still doing today, so =
if it was water that got somewhere, it should be dry. Anybody else had =
that happened to them?
