    '81 Mondial 8. It will start and idle, but under load, and especially as it warms up, it starts to run lean (I think) and has no power. As it gets warmer, it will barely idle.
    - sent the fuel distributor for rebuild
    - checked fuel pressure
    - checked and sonic cleaned injectors
    - new fuel lines
    - checked obvious engine health stuff like compression

    Where to check next? Thanks in advance - Matt

    Did you measure the WUR cold and warm control pressures?

    Also, after the fuel distributor was rebuilt and reinstalled, the mixture should've been set at warm idle -- was it?

    Have you read Chapter D of the 281/83 Mondial8/QV WSM? Do you need a copy?
