Can a "shade tree" mechanic like myself do this without a major cluster F*#k? I know how to label, sort and be meticulous, and how to do one at a time. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being an oil change and 10 being clutch replacement in an XKE!) whattaya think?
Ken P.S. Bought the car after it had sat for years. Rode it home from CT to MD and it ran fine for about 150 miles. Then it began to act fuel starved under any load...up hills, accelerating, etc. It gets worse day by day. I've changed fuel filter (pretty clean actually), plugs and wireset. Should I clean idle jets first...before attempting this? Any chnace I'll get the thing running again if I do this? |
