My 88 244 is having some hesitation issues and surging at around 2000 rpms; the cabin smells of gas, yet no visible leaks.
I thought to check all of the connectors and unplug them (with the car off) to see if they made contact, all appeared to be A-O-K (although I noticed that the ignition coil was quite toasty). Turned the car on, revved up the engine only to have it shake again. Next, I started to jiggle the wires around the headlight relay and the engine speed smoothed out a bit--but then smoke and a sizzling sound appeared. Soon thereafter, fire erupted.
Looking on the bright side, did I find the cause to the car surging intermittently?
What would you replace?
