- 96 Passat B4V, ALH engine out of a 2002 Jetta, some IE Rods and ASV Pistons. Nothing drivable yet though
Good Morning Everyone,
I am curious to know why my 96 B4V is doing the following...
I am driving on flat ground at 65mph (cruise on or cruise off). I push the accelerator down and the car speeds up, just like any car should. I get to a long hill, there is a nice one along the I-70 corridor where the front range meets the mountains, still going 65 with cruise on.
Once the car starts climbing the hill, the RPM will hit about 2500 and then drop. The car will slow down to about 60mph (roughly 2250 RPM) and sometimes it hangs out there, sometimes it accelerates again to about 2500 RPM and cuts out again.
I can put the go pedal to the floor and the behavior remains the same. This only happens when going up hill. Other than that the car behaves fine.
Thank You,
Justin
