Intermittant Flutter

My `89 300c/i with 116k on will run fine then suddenly it starts to miss slightly- hence the term "flutter". Any speed, accelerating or just cruising. It idles fine. I've replaced the plugs/cap/rotor/wires and this cleared some of it up, but it does come back intermittantly and on a daily basis. I've also replaced most of the vacuum lines. Right now I'm running some injector cleaner in it and that seems to help. The tach doesn't fluctuate, either when this happens. I'm leaning toward fouled-up injectors, but would appreciate input from those more experienced than me.

That sounds kinda like the misfire problem typically bandaid fixed with some EGR modifications. Do a search for EGR mod and you'll get more info.

It does sound like an EGR issue!

Thanks folks, I hadn't considered the EGR system. I'll check the recommended posts and see what I can do with mine.
