Annoying problem with sapph 4x4
Hi
I'm looking for some advise on a annoying problem with my car
When I accellerate gently, or driving at constant speed, I get this annoying feeling that the car is having a wire attached to the rear, which is being pulled every one second. It is most obvious in 1st 2nd 3rd gear when the revs is arround 2-3000 rpm.
The "rytm" of the pulling feeling, is very constant
When driving at motorway speeds there seems to be no problem, but maybe this is because the problem is masked by the inertia of driving at higher speeds...?
When accelerating harder (2/3rd or flatout) there seems to be no problem at all
car is running MSD closed loop, and coil pack
any suggestion would be highly appriciated

It could be the the rear calipers are sticking after releasing the handbrake. After driving it on the motorway does it then start dragging again?
the pulling feelling is kind of the same rytm all the time, in different gears (lower gears)
you could also say it feels like lifting throtle a little bit, and pressing it again, and keep doing it in 1 second rytms.
i seems to me that it must be electrically, as the "rytm" is constant
but I could be wrong

Its a lean or rich transition loop in your closed loop fuelling system, try adjusting the CO screw 90 degrees clockwise and see if it stops. If not, go 180 degrees counter clockwise from that point and test again.

(btw I will place order on monday for the stuff we discussed on email
