Re: a few maybe related engine problems (long post!)

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

I've had 4 out of 5 of the symptoms you've had (#2 excluded). Problem 
turned out to be two things wrong with my engine:

1. Frequency valve not connected.
2. Spark plugs incorectly gapped.

The wires in the plug for the frequency valve had been pulled way 
back into the socket. Most likely the result of someone pulling on 
the wires, rather than the plug to disconnect. As for my spark plugs, 
I had got a set that crossed over. Problem was that I trusted the guy 
behind the counter when he said they were pre-gapped. I assumed, and 
well you know how the saying goes! :)

But after these two issues were corrected, the idle was smooth, pick 
up is great, and the gas milage improved quite a bit. Have these 
symptoms appeared suddenly, or have things just slowly gotten worse 
to the point where you are now? Backtrack a little, and that may help 
you sort things out.
