Thanks Jim. Driving in 2nd gear at about 25MPH is right at the RPM range for the exhaust cam advance to come in. I know that there have been some problems with these devices. Don't know if that is the problem but was trying to figure out what could be happening at that RPM in a very light load situation to cause a surging effect. No check engine lights are on and no tester to hook up to it so I have been considering what might be the most reasonable explaination. Other than that the car drives fine but the prospective buyer was wondering if it might be a problem. I'll have to try this again the next time that we get a 360 in. Thanks again for doing that. |

Tom, I finally got around to trying this and I couldn't reproduce what you're seeing. The car was able to hold a constant speed in 2nd gear at 25 to 30 MPH without any surging. I also tried holding constant RPM at 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, and 4000 (all in 2nd gear) and didn't see any surging.
What are you seeing and what do you think it is?

Bring this thread back . . .

Drive at 25 to 30 MPH in 2nd gear, steady throttle to maintain your speed. Do you get a surge sensation? I have my own theories about this but wanted to see if anyone else experiences this surging. I'll tell you more about why after I get some reports. And I don't need anyone to tell me that I need to drive faster instead of slower. I wouldn't want to go this slow either. |
