I recently replaced my air filter, and switched the auxillary air hose with the fuel tank vent hose. It ran like crap. Smoked like crazy. I could only get 2500rpm and about 10mph. I cleaned the plugs, it ran better. I switched the hoses back, it ran better still. It still won't idle. But, I put in a new rotor and cap(signs of arcing) and it's running a little better. Gonna replace the plugs and wires tonight. Any thoughts on what else I can do to improve the situation? PS electronic ignition.

Nope. You are the only bafoon to have done this.

Sorry... none of us will be able to offer any assistance.




Just kidding... I have no idea?

maybe the Manifold pressure sensor has gotten dirty inside from the 'reverse osmosis' you accidently tried?

just a swing in the dark.

Check all wiring and vac lines.

You must have knocked something else off.

Look for cracks and leaks.

I have seen a few full on oily goo and they didn't work too well.

This shouldn't have made a difference. They both vent to or suck from the same air space. After the engine is warm the Aux Air Valve is closed and it really shouldn't make a difference how those two hoses are hooked up. I think you must have some other problem.

Beats me.
