I need some diagnostic help.
Car started missing at low rpm's only. I thought that it could be a clogged idle jet or poor connection on one of my plug wires (it fits kinda loose). Pulled all the idle jets and cleaned them up. Crimped the plug connection so it fits better. No luck. Now it's even worse. Not a miss anymore but what feels like a dead cylinder at low rpm's. It seems to clear up at higher rpm's but the motor just doesn't seem to pull as strong. Ideas please... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
