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) |

Now that is just plain STUPID.......... He should have faced the carbs to the rear for better performance.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) MFI means never having to clean out a clogged idle jet. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was basically running on five this weekend with my carbs the way they are and the 2.4l still felt stronger than my 2.0l 6. I didn't mind too much. I should take care of it soon though. Need to get better vacuum. I can't wait to see how strong this engine is without any problems. |

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ May 25 2008, 08:34 PM) Allan, Have you considered doing a four cylinder conversion on that thing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Glad to hear you got it running smooth again. |
