Hi, I need a little help with recent engine behavior on my 1987 3.2 carrera:
I have owned the car for around six months now, and it seems in excellent all round condition for an old girl. However, I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that at around 2250 rpm the engine stutters and feels as though it is hunting for fuel. At higher or lower revs the problem does not happen. I have tried various fuels inc Optimax and off shelf inj cleaners.
I am reliably informed that this may be tired old injectors, air sensor problems, or possibly worn valve guides. I also recently got to thinking it may be something as simple as the valves needing adjustment. I have booked into JZ Machtech for their diagnosis, but would be grateful for any of your experiences.
While I'm picking your brains, how easy is it to replace snapped sunroof cables? Is this a job for me, or a proper grown-up?
Finally, should a G50 be noisy on changes? This seems to come from base of the actual shift, and feels/sounds like the linkage is passing through a very restricted opening.
Excellent site by the way, thanks to you lot the car has benefitted from Zymol as well as new Contis. The car is cassis and linen leather - which I thinks works very well.
Oh yeah! Has anyone chipped their 3.2, and if so is it worth it?
