"Hesitation" above ~3,000 RPM - VIDEO
Searched, guess I couldn't think of the right combination of words. 1997 Discovery.
Background:
The junk yard disco is almost in shape! New water pump, viscous fan clutch, transmission, gear selector assy, new fuel pump (thanks pT!) and of course a set of new http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodye...eadwidth=&aspectratio=&rimdiameter=&sidewall=
I think I have successfully removed 95% of wires associated with the ghetto aftermarket alarm and stereo. In the process, may have hosed something up-
The problem:
Engine will get up to 3,000-3,200 RPM, then "kick down." If that is the proper terminology. I have replaced the passenger side anti-knock sensor (which had been torn out, the connector broken in two). I think this problem is electrical, for two reasons, (1) the engine successfully revved up to 5,000 RPM prior to complete dismantling of aftermarket stuff, and (2) I may have screwed up the foremost wiring harness that connects the alternator, anti-knock sensors, etc, because said "ghetto alarm" tapped into this for power and I wasn't having any of it.
Any suggestions on inhibitors, failed or disconnected electrical components that might prevent the engine from really opening up?
