Hi Emilio!

My question is regarding a strange behaviour of my beloved sven hedin (1986 MY, DW engine, 202.000 Km). From about 2000 to 2300 RPM the power output seems to be no more regular and continous, and this causes the van to jerk back and forth a little but with quite high frequency, in a very uncomfortabile way. The phenomenon is more intense at full throttle. At about 3000 RPM the jerks slows down, but the the gear lever vibrates and flaps rhythmically. Any suggestions?

Does this also occur at standstill, with gearbox in neutral, if you rev up? Does it stop, if you shift to neutral at the speed it occurs at?
If it occurs only in rolling condition, it might be caused by tyres which are out-of-round.

If it is also uccuring at standstill by reving up the engine, it must be a part of the engine.
1. Maybe ELAB (stop valve) has a loose electrical connection or broken wiring, which ca be testet by checking voltage at its terminal (test lamp, multimeter). Power supply must be uninterrupted at all speeds. If wiring is suspicious, try powering it by external wiring.
2. Also maybe there is air in the fuel system, which can be seen as bubbles rushing through the opaque tube between fuel filter and injection pump when engine is running. If there are bubbles, fuel filter may be clogged or fuel hosing is leaky. If there is air lashing back into the tube, when the engine stops, injection pump itself may be leaky at its shaft seal.
3. Annother cause might be a loose timing belt, which can be found by checking its tension: For the front belt try twisting it between thumb and forefinger, it may not be turnable more than 90° by normal hand force. For the rear belt, it may not be pushable more than half a thumb by normal hand force.

Ciao,
Tiemo
