Default Why would my 92 have a slight stumble off the line???

I replaced the opti, put taylor wires on it, and new ACDelco Platinums all in the last year... oh, and a new fuel pump. I also ran the BG fuel injection cleaner through it...

and off idle, it stumbles... any ideas???

Might want to recheck the wires and the plugs. Have you replaced the fuel filter lately?

Most of the time it's ignition. It's so hard to work on the wires and plugs that something may not be right or loose. The easiest thing to do is to run it in the dark and work the throttle by hand. Watch for sparks. Be carefull.

If reaching in there for loose stuff and looking for a spark does not find the problem I would take it and get it scoped.

I recall when I lost some part on a engine. It fell and I could not see it. I found a old 12V spot light from the boat and plugged it in. It's one of those lights that puts out a Zillion CP or whatever. There the part was! Right there in the beam of light. With a ordinary trouble light I could not see it. Now I have misplaced the spot light!!

Have you looked at the output from the TPS to be sure it doesn't have any 'flat' spots ..?
