RE: [DML] NOT TUNED



When he did the tune up, did he take the intake manifold off? A loose
manifold will cause a HUGE vacuum leak and exhibit this.

Make sure he did not accidentally bump the plug off the advance solenoid.
When I tuned mine up, the solenoid went bad and I had this very same
problem. Put a timing light on it to see if it advances at all.
