Re: [DML] Does a tune-up ever go right? Not when I do it...



Yes; this may be part of you sluggish acceleration problem. Information on
this circuit is located at D:08:01 in the workshop manual. Actually if the
connection to the solenoid is disconnected i.e.: vacuum at the distributor,
you would have good acceleration with poor idle.
