Hi!
My engine is missing sometimes when I am on the road. It stops very briefly (s plit second), and then it keeps going. Once, this happend while the car was stopped, and the engine just cut. I had to restart the engine, which it did without any problem. I read about other people with similar problems, however they also talk about back-firing. I haven't had any back-fire yet. And th eproblem does not happen all the time. Could it be the coil, the condenser, the points? What should I start with? And how can I determine which part is the faulty one? Cheers! JF |

First things first, just cover the tune up basics. Set the dwell and the timing (in that order), adjust the valves, set the fuel pressure. If your plugs, wires, and distribuor cap are old, you may just want to change those on general principle. Other than that, check for loose wiring to and from the coil. Definitely sounds like an ignition problem to me.
