Back again with my 1991 240 lh3.1 That I put a rebuilt 93 squirter motor with a vx3 cam in. Got around 600 miles on the motor. It was my first overhaul and first time I did a motor swap mostly by myself so I guess there was bound to be some kinks. Anyways I decided to launch it on tarmac for fun, revved it up to about 2500 rpm and dumped the clutch, it spun the tires for a second then started cutting out and back in with my foot flat to the floor. It wasn?t bogging, the motor started cutting out and back on. I took my foot off the gas and let it coast for a bit then drove off fine. I decided to try it again just to see if it was a recurring problem, gave it about 3000rpm and same thing but it cut out and came back on for longer. I haven?t launched the car since the motor went in but I have gotten it moving in 1st then floored it and had it song straight to 6k no problem. I wanted to see if it would still rev fine and full so I got moving at about 5mph the flooered it. The car cut out at about 4000rpm but came back on and continued fine all the way through second gear. Parked it after I got to school and haven?t checked anything yet. It had a 2-3-2 code from the jetronic computer but no MIL on the dash. before I put the motor in it would throw 2-1-4 codes from the ezk computer but show no symptoms of having the code. Any ideas what I should check first? Don?t want to run in blind and spend 4 days diagnosing this if I can avoid it.
