I'm trying to help a friend solve an idle problem. Idle is low to the point of stalling and backfiring.
Here's what we have tryied so far: Grounds are good Timing is good Dwell is a litlle high Vacuum hoses are good Cyl head temp sensor good Ballast resistor good Points good Cap good rotor good Been through two trobleshooting guides with no results. Need help figuring out a peculiar problem. When I take the vac lines off the dist I get the the usual high revs but they dont go away when the lines are plugged. Could this be a symptom of a bad vac can on the dist? Any thoughts |
