QUOTE(Freedom @ Mar 3 2004, 02:14 PM) well i adjusted the valves when i got the car, changed the oil. checked the plugs. i went through the distributor everything looked to be in good nik. That's good--but go through everything again. Carefully, don't just glance at the parts you've already done recently. Sometimes things change quickly--perhaps there was a bit of carbon stuck in one valve when you did the adjustment, or perhaps the dwell meter was having the hiccups that day, or... Just pretend that nothing has been done. Make a list, make the checks on the list, and cross them off. If you go through it all one thing at a time, you ought to find it. And yes, I know it means doing a some things twice in a week or however long... --DD |

Non an expert here, but when my car had a similar issue, it was simply a bad head temperature sensor. It only cost 20-30 bucks and is an easy swap, although a bit tough to get to. Good luck.
