I believe it was my fault. I had just had the lower end rebuilt and reinstalled it and that was when I noticed that it would vibrate when getting on the throttle. I had did what you did and replaced most of the ignition bits. Still vibrated. Rechecked the timing and that was when I found it. So a bit different than your sequence of events.

Did it slip a tooth at some point, or was it installed that way?

?Finally got mine back together and running, but I still have a issue. Took it for a drive and have a vibration when accelerating, the reason I took it apart in the first place.?
?I replaced plugs, plug wires, caps, rotors but something else is wrong. Backed it back into the garage and was going to check the new plugs to see if they are all firing, but the hood release handle popped off, the cable is not budging, so I can’t get the hood open.?

Was driving South on 104 and saw a Red 928 driving North. Not sure if it is someone on this list or not. Not to often that I see another 928 on the road in the wild.
In fact it has been a couple of decades in fat. Last one was in mid 2000's when I was at the Sharktober Fest. It was good to see one.

Does this car have an oxygen sensor, or purely mechanical CIS? If the former, a bad ground (at the sensor or, more likely, at the feedback control unit) can mess with the accuracy of the feedback provided by the sensor, and have the frequency valve constantly overcompensating and oscillating back and forth rich/lean.

Re: Original WSM Documents
Hi Roger-
Good to talk to you again. If you're willing to show me a couple of pages to compare, I'd be obliged. That said, I'll be putting in an order with you soon, so I'll just add one of those to the cart.
Cheers
Glenn

Re: Original WSM Documents
Hi Glenn, We have the originals as put together by Jim Morehouse and the rest of the interested parties on Rennlist. Often copied by other peeps for sale on eBay. They are pretty good copies. Jim donated them to the 928 community along with thousands of other documents. Happy to share a couple with you to see if they meet the standard you are looking for.
Best Roger

I have the things that have been floating around on the internet; probably from links I got on Rennlist, but they're not great. I think that a more modern copier would be able to get a scan of the whole sheet, instead of breaking it up over a couple of pages, like on the copies I have. Or worst case scenario, things are still broken up but at higher resolution and with text recognition.
If you're willing to part with the sheets for a little bit, I'm happy to pay for shipping back and forth and, of course, will share what I get digitized.

That would be great; indeed, I'm talking about the service manuals. I'm focused on the wiring diagrams, but completely willing to rescan everything.
Let me know how to pick them up; I'm flexible Friday and this weekend.

Re: Original WSM Documents
Hey Glenn, I want to make sure I am tracking. WSM's = the service manuals??
If so I have a set. I'm likely selling my car and was not going to pass them along to whomever the next owner is so you are welcome to use them. Seems like a worthwhile, if not arduous task :)?

Re: Original WSM Documents
If you get desperate, I've got them up here in Oly.? Can figure
out a way to get them to you.
Has this already been done (Rennlist)? or are you looking to get
better scans?

Does anyone in the Portland area have the original WSM documents
that they'd let me borrow, so as to make new and improved scans of
the wiring diagrams? I know this is sort of a big ask, but I'm
willing to put in the time to get everything scanned and into an
OCR'ed pdf.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hooked On Driving at The Ridge Thursday 6/6/24
So sorry everyone - I meant to send this note Monday and did not get it sent.??
Update:? There is hardly anyone signed up for this event.? Looks like it may be a total of only 9 cars combined on the track for the B&C groups - which we are planning on running together - so it will be 30-minute sessions instead of 20-minute sessions every
hour.??
If you are an "A" driver (not Solo approved) there may not be enough spots left, but try to sign up if you are able - we may not have enough Coaches for additional "A" students.??
It will be a great day - Partly cloudy, 74F - Perfect for the track.??
My #41 Stock Car will be on track - new Clutch & new tires (with only one session on them) so hope to be really turning it on and seeing how it goes.??
If you are able to be free tomorrow/Thursday 6/6/24 sign up & come out for a great day!? ?If you just want to "check out" Hooked On Driving"
(HOD), come out, find me, and I will get you a ride with a Coach to see what The Ridge Motorsports Park is like in Shelton, WA.??

Re: WTB some GT or similar cams
I think Benno should go all out.??
Porken Skunk Works, with Colin cams optimized for ITB's, stroker
crank, dry sump, big valve heads, aftermarket engine control
system.?
wow, it's easy to spend money (as long as it's someone else's
$$$) :)
Looking forward to see what you come up with.?
And get thee to a dyno.? Need to have some baseline numbers
before you go all out.?

The options for modifying stock cams is minimal
without building up the lobes with weld. This isnt the best
option for a street engine due to welded cams not having enough
porosity to maintain an oil film.
So far, I think I am the only person to have
manufactured new high lift cams for the 32V engines. And let me
tell you, it was not a cheap endeavor?
