: My car was just relaeased from the auto body shop a couple of weeks ago, since it's been out, there has been a dead spot when I accelerate, which usually passes after a couple of seconds... sometimes it sounds as if the engine misses, or back fires. I'm not sure what this problem is, I've used injector cleaner... seemed to help a little, but the problem remains.
: any suggestions?
: thanks in advance!

Greetings from downunder!

I have a 1977 633CSi and had several instances of this. Not sure if this is applicable to yours...

Check internally your fuel tank for contaminated
crap...either flaky rust crud from the tank or
general crap from poorly filtered petrol.

What happens is that these foreign bodies sometimes temporarily block the fuel pickup
starving the fuel pump of petrol till it clears itself....

Something to check...
