so its missing every few seconds or so.
like when the heart skips a beat. So how or why would this happen- is it the points module?(hot spark) , seems like the most likely thing. I am going to put the 123ignition distributor in tomorrow, and it will be interesting to see if it still happens. that will eliminate the fi points plate and the hotspark module in the old distributor. So has anyone else ever seen this when setting the timing on their car?? if so what did you conclude? |

and....how did it come out ? I have not had time to get back to this, I spent 5 hours cleaning yard and pool yesterday, and then pulled the fuel rail and put in 8 new fuel injectors in our '07 Lincoln navigator(196000 miles). we need to take it on a atrip soon and its been running pretty crappy so I needed to get that done first- success, partly but it looks like I have a transmission solenoid that needs to be replaced. intermittent shifting issue and once and a while a code, then back to .... sorry not Porsche content, but it is my tow vehicle so I need it working!!!! I do hope its that simple and not a full transmission rebuild , but at 200k miles almost its probably due. there are a no service transmission so I was thinking about a full flush and clean and refill first. anyone know if you can just replace the shift solenoid packs on these with out having to pull the whole transmission?? they are not expensive from what i see on line. Anyway the plug wires were fairly new but i will recheck this and see if its the timing light a plug wire or distributor - the 123ignition one is on the shelf but i wanted to sort that out before installing the new distributor. |
