Brian, Check to be sure that the vacuum lines and electrical connector at the vacuum solenoid switch are correctly connected.

The car felt funny and sputtered a little during acceleration. When it got up to around 3000 RPM's it was fine. It cruised along at 70 MPH with no problems. I assumed something in the engine compartment had gotten wet. Another week went by, and I took it out again. I had the same problem, so I check all the sparkplug wires and all were sealed tightly to their plugs and the distributor. I checked and found no signs of water in the plugs wells either. I took the car out Saturday morning and again it hestitated during acceleration until 3000 RPMs then it once again steadied out. However, while cruising the interstate, it began to sputter and jerk aa little at 70 and 75 MPH. It didn't doi it all the time just sometimes. The car also idles a little rough, I mean the car shakes. The tach shows it idling around 1000 RPM, but the engine isn't running right as the car has never shaken before during idle. I'm wondering what the problem is. Is it possible that it's the primary pressure regulator? I'm trying to get her back in shape to go to the ETDOC meeting at Biltmore, so I don't have but a few weeks to figure this out and get the car fixed. Any suggestions from the list would be greatly appreciated. Brian VIN 1597 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
