Re: [DML] ACCELERATION PROBLEM

Take of the catalyst converter off and see how it runs without it. A guy at a tech session had the same problem for months and we went through everything and tried everything. Turn es out the catalyst converter over heated at some point in the past and was clogged up and causing a back fire in the system when he accelerated.

Hi Mike

The hunting on a warm engine indicates that the CO setting is right on the 
border of the ECU control capability.
Has the O2 sensor been replaced along with all the other stuff? I would 
recommend replacing the sensor and checking the operation of this circuit 
with a dwell meter.
There might be other issues as well. The so called warm-up regulator or the 
temperature sensor located the thermostat housing. Check to make sure it's 
still connected and that the connection is clean and tight.

Good luck
