My 85' GTV6 2.5 sometimes exibits a temporary stutter when under load below 2000 RPM.

I have checked all the settings on the EFI system and the HT leads are brand new (Magnecor).

Any ideas

Mine was doing the same... It was also running very poor when cold! When the rpm is at or below 2000 (even once warm) and I try to apply light load, it would surge and sputter unless I went FULL throttle then it would just maybe surge a bit and then jump and pull right through it!

Very noticeable with light throttle increase at low rpm…

Vacuum leaks - buy the kit from Greg Gordon - about 120 bucks and it will smooth this puppy right out...

Also, the new GoTech has made a HUGE difference in how the car runs, throttle response etc.

The power will also be there as I fine tune the mapping.

Nick,Trade secret # 503!!!

Replace your rotor and the stutter should go away.You might have to replace the dizzy cap as well.If its a Bosch rotor you might get away with simply cleaning it very well-dont scrubb off the shiny insulating coat.If its Echlin,replace.

Let me know how you fare....

Cap and rotor button have been on the shopping list for a while now.
I have cleaned them a few times in the past but I don't know how old they are and they should be replaced.
I'm replacing the rear engine mount tomorrow so I'll do the cap and button as well.

Nick,Wassup?You sort out your problem??Let us know mate.......

...after long absence, the problem seemed to stem from my Magnecor leads and the green wire that runs from the dizzy to the silver box (Spark Amp). I pulled the dizzy apart cleaned and reassembled remade connections on green wire and went back to OEM style 7mm copper leads. All seems to be well now !
