Just went through the same thing as you a few months ago. Best I can say is check out your timing, valve timing and lash, vac leaks, and definitely electrical-make sure your block is grounded, your wires to the coil and resister are right. ALSO make sure the connectors on the bulkhead are good-they need to be clean and tight, if they're loose they won't work-this was my problem. BE SURE to check that the pins are present in the connectors as well-when these connectors are old and you unplug/plug in the connector it sometimes will force a pin out and into the space behind the panel-I'm talking about all the colored connectors on the engine bay bulkhead like the blue, red, yellow, etc. Check those out. Make sure all your connectors are good and shiny on the FV and warm up reg. A combination of all of these was my problem that kept me from starting hot and idling nice. I didn't need to purchase anything other then some Dielectric and vac o-ring seals so make sure this is all good to go. You can fix a lot by just checking out electrical connections for worn, loose, bad and corroded connections. If that fails, maybe your throttle plates are too worn allowing too much air in, maybe you have bad wires (even if they're new check them), cap rotor all that good stuff. Hows your fuel system, fuel distributor, etc? -----Dani B. #5003 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
