Re: More symptoms of the poor running
Is this running your fancy computer controled ignition? or stock CISE

Engine 2L 16v
Electrical: 88 16v harness
Fuel CISE
Engine starts well. One crank and operates.
Low rpm and rough idle. I had to open the air bypass screw a few turns to
idle at 950-1K.
Problem. Power loss. Vac drops from 18" to 0 rapidly, almost stalling.
Fluttering the pedal can keep the car running.
The idle feels "buzzy", a rough edge to the running. (poor desc I know)
Keeping the idle abve 1500 for a few secs will cause the rpm/vac to drop
again.
Only fluttering the pedal will keep the engine running.
This will last for a minute or 2. The engine then will run correctly for the
rest of the trip home.
I checked the plug wiring and replaced the fuel filter. It seems to be
intermittent.
Any help appreciated!
