I own a '95 EF Futura, 4L, Auto. Six months ago, the car began to 'stutter' whilst going up hills. The problem went away for a month, then returned. This 'stuttering' feels like a drop out of power, then re-ignition. When at idle, the engine appears to drop in RPM and then pick back up... Whilst running, it feels like I am 'pig rooting' (an auto!!!)
The kicker, I have now replaced everything from the plugs to the EFI. Injectors have been cleaned and Auto Elecs can't work it out...
Has anyone else out there ever experienced this type of mechanical problem? Is it the 4.0 DOHC engine? Please HELP before more money than the car is worth gets put into the hands of an inept mechanic professing he can locate it...

It was the wire on the negative side of the coil earthing out.
It was damn hard to find as it is tucked away under the intake manifold and it's a black wire hidden in a geasy engine bay.
At idle it would tou

Another wire to check is the one coming off the dizzy. It sits between the dizzy and the block and cooks over time making the wire brittle even though it may look OK from the outside.

Actually now you mention it, I do believe that was actually the wire that caused the problem on mine.
It was a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the feedback gents. If nothing else, I am now more confident in advising the next mechanic what past problem people have experienced and may even narrow done the search. Once again, thanks for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.
