i believe the adjective i used after the valve clearance adjustment last weekend was "purr-y." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) well, that is over. as the tank was very low, i filled 'er up with chevron 92 octane, and threw in a bottle of stp carb cleaner additive for good measure. what i got for my efforts is rough running, hesitance, the occasionaly misfire when cold, and a general feeling of all not right with the world. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
could it be the gas? could it be me? could it be the pre-flood rains we've been having? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) it isn't my imagination, so it must have a real cause. i have searched archives for spark plug info, wire info, etc. the gas question occured to me late. any ideas? correlation, or causation? |

well, that is comforting; at least a bit. i will try the clean out the carb deal. the fuel filter is new; perhaps i didn't get a good one. any recommendations? i am tempted to syphon out the gas and run some new through there, but at the prices of gas these days, i practically doubled the cars value with the last fillup.
thanks for the good advice. and Levi, it can't be a vacuum leak; the shop vac was somewhere else at the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ! (yep, painfully bad attempt at humor. sorry) btw, have you come out of your tornado cellar yet? one touched down yesterday, south of olympia (tenino) this is crazy, dorothy. grab toto and run! |
