 1.7L still running terribly, $1800 and a month in the shop yields a barely drivable teener |

rough running
stalls at idle backfires 0-50 takes several minutes (notice I didn't say 60 - can't hit that) strong smell of raw gas all speaks to at least one cylinder not firing No visible signs of leaking fuel. 2 new injectors don't seem to have helped Trigger and Ignition points replaced Ignition wires checked and rechecked Timing was supposedly set, but will check myself when I get home. Why is this thing so cranky? |

AAR= auxilary air regulator. Open when cold, closes when hot. If stuck, it will be a huge vacuum leak. Again, easily checked. With engine warmed up, remove the AAR vacuum line from the air box side, there should be no vacuum.
