Also the srping decel valves are not stuck i just checked those recentlty too and i have all new vacumn hoses on the car.. Rob Grady seems to think it is the fuel distributor though that is pretty expensiev wish i could check it somehow.. I will have to try the graduated cup test with the injectors i guess. Any more suggestions? could it be the fuel pump or warm up regulator? Though the warm up regulator is new as of a few months ago. Thanks.
