No 0-60 time to report yet. BUT i did make more adjustments to the ALDA. I have noticed that ALDA adjustment affects engine RPM at speed and shift points. Can i attribute this to the rack position sensor?

Before I started all this, at 77 MPH my car would run about 2950-3050 RPM. At various points of turning clockwise the ALDA, it would increase to 3200 and shift often to get there.

By adjusting the ALDA closely back to 2950-3050 RPM (actually its a HAIR highter than it was before), the car is SMOOTHER. With WOT the power is smooth. Before it would be a bit jerky kind of like my control control problem. However, the cruise is still jerky at times. I removed the air recirc hose last night and will see what hapens.

QUESTION; Those '87 300D drivers, what RPM does your engine run at 77 MPH (or 80, whatever) under steady load (flat or uphill)? Please state engine speed and flat/uphill conditions, altitude.
