Chello! New 89 Vert Owner
Hey yall, just got me a super low mileage (65K) lady driven one owner red convertible. Mostly, it has been sitting in the garage all its life. I really enjoy it as a thoroughly modern car...I actually like it better than my 2003 G35 Infiniti.
I do have a problem though...when accelerating fully to redline; the rev band isn't really that smooth. Rather than a smooth "ZING!", it takes on a secondary vibration at 5 thousand and subsequently 6500 rpm that sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment on the passenger side. It isn't bad, just strange and unsettling...like something on the intake side needs cleaning or re-adjusting. Is this a common problem or something more complicated?
Thanks for any help!

Thank you for your post, I took your advice...read everything I could on the subject. However, I'm still at a loss, could the valves sticking be causing a minute vibration? It does it when revving it to 6400 RPM in neutral too...
I have localized it somewhat, it almost sounds like it is coming from the air pump.
Again, thanks for your help.

No, and I should. But I think there are two problems, the back (firewall) VDI IS sticking...and the air pump is freaked. I got some work to do this weekend....
It really was lady driven, huh?
