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. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Podlewski [mailto:john_podlewski@xxxx] > Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 9:16 PM > To: dmcnews@xxxx > Subject: [DML] NOT TUNED > > Well looks like it is not just crossed wires or vacuum hoses although two > of the hoses were not connected.
