hi all.... i have been having an issue with a slight hesitation as i pull away, like a misfire...smooths out once im driving....was baffling me...so after reading many posts on here i decided to look at the vacuum pipes..after tracing all the long ones under the exhaust and intake manifolds... i eventuallt looked around the distributor and k jetronic housing... wow... there she was a disconnected pipe running from a little bell housing on the side of the distributor to the intake of the fuel injection housing... pushed it back on and hey presto... problem sorted.!!   i must have dislodged it when i changed the spark plug leads a few weeks ago.... the problem started then...i assumed it needed a good blast...in actual fact it needed a little pipe to suck on!!  

 

hope this helps anyone else with simular problem..
