did you ever turn over the engine with the cap loose? Are the marks on both sides? What symptoms were you having that made you start looking for a problem?

QUOTE(bdstone914 @ Oct 17 2014, 07:15 PM)  did you ever turn over the engine with the cap loose? Are the marks on both sides? What symptoms were you having that made you start looking for a problem? Bruce You know I do remember doing that a while back, but never checked the cap after that .b Why I was looking? I've been getting a weird sudden skip, miss, and also out of nowhere while idling normal it will suddenly act like it's going to die. Not the same as a surge. It goes from idle at 12-1300 and suddenly drops to like 5-600, . It started with just a hot start kind of thing , where it would not idle right when stopping and engine is hot, on restart it doesn't want to stay running for 30 seconds or so then will do o.k. now its doing this out of nowhere even with out turning it off. |

QUOTE out of nowhere while idling normal it will suddenly act like it's going to die. Mine would do that at stop lights etc, and I adjusted the mixture screw on the ECU and it fixed the problem with mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Jon H. |
