Hi all,

I've recently gotten my (new to me) 1981 242 DL back from my mechanic, where I had quite a lot of work done:

New steering rack
Total belt job
Tons of new oil seals

The engine runs like a top now and doesn't leak a drop, but there is a scary behavior that I noticed even before I had work done:

Occasionally, when I go over bumps or round a sharp corner, the engine will hesitate, like totally lose power, then violently kick back in. Any ideas on what could be causing that?

I will note that the engine wiring harness has not been replaced.

Thanks for any ideas you can offer.
