Marshall,
I've replaced some of the same items you have. I had the head rebuilt
this
summer. I haven't checked timing since then. I assumed the mechanic knew
what he was doing. That might be something to recheck on my own.
I don't think this is just a 16V power band quirk. It feels like it
wants
to go, then the power is reduced, then it feels like it wants to go, then
the power is reduced. It's hard to explain in writing. As I'm trying to
accelerate thru the 3-4K range, I can see the tach drop w/ each periodic
reduction in power. Almost like a cylinder is cutting out, but not as
severe.
Brian,
I don't think it's a ground issue b/c there is no bucking. But it
couldn't
hurt to recheck and clean my grounds.
Keep the ideas coming guys,
Renard

Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Hesitation while Accelerating
I've got the same thing going on. Mine does it all the time not just after
i decelerate. I've replaced many things but nothing has fixed it. things i
haven't replaced include, injectors, cold start valve(both were tested ok),
and my neuspeed chip. I've tested and replace many things including: temp
sensor, thermo time switch, both fuel pumps, set fuel mixture, checked
timing(cam-crank/cam-cam/ignition), intake boots, vacuum lines, injector
o-rings...i think there's more but i can't remember right now. I've pretty
much just given up on it. I've seen many dyno charts and all seem to have
the same bogg in teh power band. If you figure it out please send something
to the list.
