developed new issue. Car surges / lunges.
Can feel it in all gears when applying any level of torque. It's somewhat speed dependent but mostly torque dependent. As soon as clutched or coasting it's gone. Causes a rhythmic shake at a rate similar to how you would comfortably say the alphabet. It's more than just irritating, it's concerning.
Idles smooth, revs smooth, power feels normal, happens cold and hot, it's not the road surface. Worse when carrying 2 people as it takes a deeper pedal and more torque to move due to the extra weight. Mostly gone on down hills even if I stay on the pedal....conversely much worse when climbing hills
It's a very major shake, I have taken her off the road as this is something wrong that I can't yet figure out. Driving like this is NO fun and it feels like it's killing her.
Any ideas?
Dist advance freaking out and oscillating somehow?
Spark weak or improperly timed?
Drive axles CV's ?
Cylinder dying under torque?
Carb fluttering some how.?
