[DML] Re: Took car out on first drive in 1 1/2 years, not without problems, though

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your symptoms would seem to indicate that once the car warms up and
you get vacuum advance it is better. Vacuum advance only becomes
available when the engine is warmed up so now you have to check if
your base timing is right and if you are getting mechanical advance.
Mechanical advance is not dependant on temperature. You could also
have worn spark plugs (the gap is too big) or bad ignition wires or a
weak coil. Other systems also work differently when the car warms up
like Lambda and the air intake. You may have to check them all.
