Purely electrical/battery? Posted by Daven [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: momentary loss of power under hard accel., RedAeroGirl, Tue, 1 Jun 2004 06:09:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I used to have the same problem with my '91 9KT when sometimes, under hard acceleration or hard braking, the [hardwired] radar detector and radio would turn off and on again and the headlights dim momentarily. Whether accelerating or decelerating, all of the above would be accompanied by a quick "hiccup", as you referred to it. I used a metal brush to clean off all battery terminals and freshen up all electrical conections and the problem disappeared. If your battery terminals are at all rusty/corroded or just cruddy, clean them up, who knows...?
Good luck!
