    what do plugged catalytic converters act like??

    When your cats plug up your car bogs down hardcore... until you reach higher rpm. You still have a loss of pwr there, and the cats get very hot. Mine didn't get red hot, but you could see smoke coming form them, and they would vaporize any water that would hit them after only being run for a...

    starter staying engaged after car starts and key is released!!!!

    Sounds like something isn't hooked up right then. If you read +10v on that wire with the ignition jumper pulled... try checking right at the solenoid. Mabey you got another bad one, it should read 0v /w the key out. I'd keep tracking that wire down until you find out where the +10 is coming from.

    new motor help

    If it's white or clear i've heard also that water condesates in the tailpipes/mufflers overnight and will burn off/blow out as steam on startup. If this only happens for a second or two it may be just that.

    Lost power, need help

    If you see the timing marking pointing at 20° on the balancer when the light flashes then you are at 20° no matter where your dizzy is stabbed. The light flashes when the #1 plug has juice on it, and shows you where the #1 piston is in relation to the balancer... doesn't matter where the dizzy...

    Not sure how the starter could still be cranking /w a good realy... the relay would have cut the pos juice. The relay has to feed it juice, it has no other way to turn over. Mabey a bad starter fried the relay... by pulling to much juice and not moving etc. More likely your bad relay burned...

    Detonation problem with 14* timing!!

    Had the same issue as you after I spun the balancer... replaced balancer and it fixed the vibration issues but had a breakup after 3k rpm. Turned out to be the TFI module... problem only occured after motor had warmed up too.

    Hypothetically Speaking......

    Did you rotate the engine to TDC and check to make sure the balancer is at 0 deg? I blew my balancer (too high rpm) once, it was a little off and got a vibration at 1k rpm that cleared up by 2k rpm and sounded like a miss at 600-750 rpm (idle). It later spun more and had a horrible shake...
